RN - Infusion

Overview :

Presbyterian is seeking an Infusion Nurse.   Infusion Therapy is a lifeline for many patients managing chronic conditions, and in New Mexico, infusion nurses play a vital role in delivering this care with precision and empathy. Whether you're in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, or Las Cruces, infusion nurses are the unsung heroes of outpatient clinics, hospitals, and home health services. Come and join our team and administer IV therapy for chronic illnesses like rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, and multiple sclerosis.

New Mexico’s unique geography and rural communities mean access to specialized care can be limited. Infusion nurses bridge that gap.
