For the past 23 years, Sue Masoorli, RN, has made a successful career out of helping fill the need for nurses who are skilled in infusion therapy. In 1987, Masoorli, who had been the nurse manager of an IV team for 10 years and done home infusion for the previous five, founded Perivascular Nurse Consultants Inc., whose staff set up infusion therapy at home visits. Today, the Philadelphia-based company focuses solely on education. Perivascular Nurse Consultants hosts classes and seminars nationwide and develops training videos and workbooks for healthcare professionals on how to properly place IVs and Picc lines. Masoorli, the president and CEO of the company, estimates it holds about 150 classes and trains roughly 3,000 nurses each year. Perivascular Nurse Consultants’ focus on education has paid off. Three of the company’s training videos — ones on venipuncture, phlebotomy, and Picc line insertion — earned awards from the American Nurses Association. With the company’s success has come individual success for Masoorli, who received an award from the American Cancer Society for her volunteer work. Additionally, she serves as an expert witness in nursing malpractice infusion cases.
