Specialty IV therapies

by NewRN2008 Premium Member

I am going to be starting out my career pretty quick here. in my interview, that went VERY VERY well btw, we discussed about IV things. I have a great way of doing general IV's and do very well starting them. This is something i have wanted to make sure i am perfecting so that i am able to bring something to my new job. ( having the paramedic background helped), well the NM asked if i would be interested in doing trainings for insertion of PICC lines. I am more than interested, but i am wondering, are there other things i would be able to get certified/licensed to do? like any other IV therapy/tx stuff that i would be able to do some research on and possibly pursue??

Thanks for the help in advance!
Heather

Heather,

You've only been a nurse for one year, however, your other assets are a plus. Infusion nursing encompasses a broad spectrum of your nursing abilities and assessment skills. Pursuing the CRNI (Certified Registered Nurse Infusion) offered by INS (Infusion Nursing Society) will denote you as someone who has expertise and a knowledge base which will be seen as an asset for the employer and the pt. Find out more by going to INS1.org
Hope it helps.
