IVF Nurse

IVF Nurses are Registered Nurses who support couples and clients who are undergoing in vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatments. They work in hospitals, fertility clinics, and specialist medical centres as well as research labs and egg/sperm donor centres. IVF Nurses are sometimes called Fertility Nurses.

As an IVF Nurse you could be taking a blood sample from a patient and processing it for testing, preparing a patient for ultrasound, helping a couple understand their fertility diagnosis, explaining to a young woman how to take her daily fertility meds, explaining the steps involved in egg collection and embryo transfer, referring a young couple to a counsellor after a series of negative pregnancy test results, or just taking some time-out for rejuvenation and self-care.

The in vitro fertilisation (IVF) journey can be highly emotional and stressful for patients, so you’ll need a well-developed sense of empathy and compassion to succeed in this occupation.
