  • 1.  RN performing IUI

    Posted 05-28-2024 11:38

    We are acquiring an established IVF practice that was previously privately owned. I have seen this question asked before in the last several years but wondering if anyone found a good answer. Can RN's perform Intrauterine Inseminations? Their practice manager has stated that according to ASRM (American Society of Reproductive Medicine) they can. I am reaching out to our state board of Nursing as well but wondering what anyone else has discovered.

    Thank you!

    Hi there, 

    I know from personal experience that RN's can perform IUI's in fertility clinics in South Carolina. I'm not sure if the scope is different in SC, as I'm a resident in NC but traveled to Greenville, SC to have my procedure performed. When I was undergoing fertility treatments, I was told an RN would be performing the procedure. I had my reservations based on previous experiences and the NP ended up doing the procedure, but she stated that the RN's perform them way more frequently than she even does. I think it's great to go ahead and confirm with the state board.

    Good luck!
