Who they are
HydraMed is a mobile IV therapy company based in San Antonio, Texas, that delivers medical-grade IV treatments in non-clinical settings including patients' homes, hotels, and offices.
More about HydraMed
The company employs Registered Nurses as Mobile IV Therapists, requiring at least 2 years of clinical experience in specialized units such as ICU, ER, NICU, OB, Med Surg, or Surgery, along with proficiency in starting IVs (including difficult sticks) and administering IM injections. The operational model is on-demand and dispatch-coordinated, with nurses submitting weekly availability and committing to complete assigned bookings. The company appears to operate partially on an independent contractor model, as suggested by job titles listed in employee reviews. While the role offers flexibility and autonomous practice in diverse settings, employee reviews indicate significant concerns across multiple workplace dimensions.

Culture and working life
What to consider
Indeed shows an overall rating of 3.0 out of 5 stars based on 2 reviews, with detailed sub-ratings of 1.0 out of 5 across all categories: work-life balance, pay and benefits, job security and advancement, management, and culture. One Indeed review titled 'A great side gig' (April 2026) suggests the role may function well as supplemental income. A Glassdoor review is titled 'Great company to work for,' though full content was not accessible. The contrast between the overall 3.0 rating and uniformly low 1.0 detailed sub-ratings suggests polarized experiences among a small number of reviewers.
The good
- Flexible, autonomous mobile work environment across diverse settings (homes, hotels, offices)
- Can serve as supplemental income or side gig per employee review
- Opportunity for experienced nurses to apply specialized clinical skills in a non-traditional care model
- Compact RN license accepted, enabling multi-state practice flexibility
The hard parts
- Very low employee ratings on Indeed across all sub-categories: 1.0/5 for work-life balance, pay/benefits, job security, management, and culture
- Dispatch-coordinated model requires weekly availability submission and mandatory completion of assigned bookings
- Minimum monthly work requirement to maintain active status
- Independent contractor structure may mean limited or no traditional employment benefits

Weighing a first job here?
The license clock and the job hunt run at once, and new-grad windows do the deciding. Residency commitments carry fine print worth reading before you sign.
