Yes, They're called Hospice nurses. I believe Canada allows IV's at home. The U.S does not where morphine is concerned. I can understand why because of the sterility problem of doing IV at home. Unless it's changed. It should be allowed because the entire purpose of Hospice is dying in peace at home. I think it should be allowed. To get the right answer, you'd have to contact Hospice nursing in Canada. They would know for sure. Good luck
