OUR NURSES & CLINICAL TEAM
Expert Nurses. Verified Competency. Every Visit.
When a nurse enters your home, you deserve to know they are prepared, trained, and clinically verified for exactly what they are about to do.
Our Clinical Competency Standard
At Surrogate Family Care, clinical competency is not assumed — it is documented, verified, and continuously maintained. Every infusion nurse on our team is held to a rigorous standard that goes well beyond basic licensing requirements.
Pharmacist-Approved Medication Guides — At the Point of Care
Our nurses have access to pharmacist-approved medication guides for every infusion medication they administer — right at the bedside. These guides include:
Drug-specific infusion rate calculators
Black box warning alerts
Drug interaction screening
Indications and contraindications
Dosing information and taper charts
Warnings, precautions, and adverse reaction protocols
Drug preparation and storage requirements
Administration guidelines
Manufacturer-sourced safety data sheets
Patient education resources
This means your nurse is never working from memory alone — they have verified, up-to-date clinical guidance at their fingertips for every medication, every time.
Accredited Continuing Education — INS & IgNS Certified
Our nurses complete ongoing training through accredited continuing education (CE) and continuing medical education (CME) courses provided by two of the most respected organizations in infusion therapy:
Infusion Nurses Society (INS)
The leading professional organization for infusion nursing.
Immunoglobulin National Society (IgNS)
Specialists in immunoglobulin therapy training.
These courses provide contact hours and recertification units, keeping our nurses current with the latest clinical standards and best practices in infusion therapy.
Structured Learning Pathways
Our nurses complete structured training pathways specific to the infusion specialties they practice:
Antibiotic Infusion (OPAT)
Rheumatology Infusions
Neurology Infusions
Multiple Sclerosis Treatment
Iron Replacement Therapy
Gastroenterology Infusions
Migraine Treatment Protocols
Allergy and Asthma Infusions
Competency Verification Reporting
Clinical managers and supervisors at Surrogate Family Care have access to competency verification reporting for every nurse on our team. Proficiency is not self-reported — it is documented, tracked, and reviewed. This gives you and your family confidence that the nurse in your home has been verified as competent in the specific therapy they are delivering.
What This Means for You
Peace of Mind
Your nurse has been trained, tested, and verified for the exact infusion therapy you are receiving — not just trained generically.
Safety
Adverse reaction protocols, drug interaction checks, and black box warning awareness are built into every nurse's workflow — not an afterthought.
Consistency
Every nurse follows the same pharmacist-approved protocols — so the quality of your care does not depend on who shows up that day.
