IV Therapy Certification Classes?

Everyone: Check with your facility Educator. If they don't teach the course they still may know about one. Also, Same Day Surgery, GI lab and other areas are good places to learn. Can you get precepted in another area in order to learn this skill?

I cannot find any iv certification class in northern , nj.
Am I missing something.
Please tell me where can I get this certification in nj or ny.
I am willing to travel to achieve my certification.

Thanks

Hi,
Go to Infusion Nurses Society web page and they often have a list of classes available. Are you looking for PICC certification or peripheral cert. This will be 2 different classes. Alot of hospitals or facilities will offer a "ceritification" class that gives you a couple days of theory and practice that will help you develop your skills and even hear some great secrets and tips from more seasoned nurses. You can also look in the ad section in the back of trade journals (nursing spectrum and Advance to name a couple of freebies) but they often list certification courses. Good luck.

I am having the same problem finding a place in new jersey but here is another question I have....do you have to take the class in the state you are licensed in? if I am licensed in NJ but find a class in delaware, does it matter? from what I read, you dont actually get a real certification anyway cause there are no standards you basically just say that you have taken the class and can do IV's, right? and does it matter if you are LPN vs RN?
