• IV Therapy Course for RNs is a 20- hour hands-on intravenous therapy training course. It includes peripheral IV therapy, use, care and maintenance of central vascular access devices. State boards of Nursing and healthcare facilities anticipate RNs to have knowledge and skills in peripheral and central infusion therapy procedures. 
  • IV Certification program for LPNs is 2-day peripheral IV training program. Certain states including Illinois limit LPN practice to peripheral IV therapy whereas, other states allow LPNs with education and training to infuse through central vascular access devices such as PICC.  LPNs licensed in those states may attend the 20-hour peripheral and central vascular infusion therapy.

  Nursing law and scope of practice:

  Nurse practice act (NPA) is the law that defines the scope of practice for nurses. Nurse practice acts are implemented and enforced by the State Boards of Nursing. Each state has its own rules and regulations regarding IV therapy training for nurses, often referred as IV certification.  Some State Boards of Nursing such limit LPN practice to peripheral IV therapy.  Though, multiple other states allow LPNs with documented education and training to infuse through central vascular catheters (CVCs).

• RNs and LPNs are required to comply with the rules and regulations of the licensee’s state board of nursing. To review your state’s nurse practice act, please log in to your state board of nursing website. Click here to view Nurse Practice acts at the National Council of State Boards of Nursing web site.  Follow your employer’s policy and procedures if a state board of nursing does not specify if an LPN can infuse through CVCs.

About the Course

This face to face interactive IV therapy training starts with peripheral IV therapy. RNs and LPNs all together learn to insert peripheral IV catheters, administration of fluids and medications, complications and maintenance of short peripheral catheters.

Third day of  IV therapy course is for RNs and selected LPNs with expanded scope of practice allowing to infuse through CVCs.  Upon completion of this 20-hour infusion therapy training, attendees become knowledgeable of peripheral and central vascular infusion therapy procedures.

Medical assistants and dental assistants are unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP). They mostly work in medical office settings assisting physicians. Regulations for IV therapy by unlicensed assistive personnel vary state by state. Physicians may delegate IV therapy tasks to UAPs, except in those states where it is specifically prohibited. However, prior to delegation of IV therapy related tasks, the UAP needs documented education, training, and competency validations (often referred as IV certification).

Upon completion of this 8-hour hands-on IV training program, attendees learn to insert peripheral IV catheters, prepare and start infusion with an IV fluid, monitor the patient during the infusion, identify potential complications, and discontinue the infusion.

Attendees obtain a certificate of completion. Complete the competency assessment at the facility according to the facility’s policy and procedures.

Please Note: Attendees require peripheral IV skills and knowledge of central vascular catheter care abd maintenance.

This unparalleled, comprehensive infusion therapy course is developed by home infusion therapy experts for nurses with little or no experience in home infusion therapy. Upon completion of this thorough IV infusion therapy training, attendees gain knowledge, skills, confidence and competence to manage patients with complex infusion therapies at home.

The first day’s face-face, interactive infusion therapy class teaches legal implications of IV infusion therapy, how to collaborate with an infusion pharmacy, patient teaching guidelines, different types of ambulatory pumps, equipment selection, vascular access device selection, first dose administration guidelines, and administration of all types of infusion therapies at home.

During the second day morning session, attendees learn to use, maintain and manage all types of central vascular access devices (CVADs) such as PICC, Hickam catheter, port-a-cath.  Following illustration and demonstration by the instructor, attendees get an opportunity to practice CVAD procedures such as blood draw, de-clotting, removing PICC and non-tunneled central lines, accessing and de-accessing implanted vascular port.

The afternoon session focuses on peripheral IV training. Attendees learn to palpate and select healthy veins, precise technique to insert a PIV catheter with one attempt, prevent and manage insertion and catheter related complications.
