LPN - IV therapy class

I was lucky enough to have friends in the class with me, and we practiced on each other.
Try to have someone to precept you that you are not nervous around. That makes a big difference! Remember .. with IV's.. practice makes perfect!
GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!!!!!!!

We practiced on mannequins. I was already a phlebotomist, so, sticking people doesn't scare me...it was actually setting up those piggybacks.

We got to practice on each other in class and that helped me not be so nervous when I got to sticks patients. Luckily enough of us were willing to be practiced on. Good luck.

I need certification asap what city r u n ?

I am in Denver

Does anyone know if LPN in the dialysis area in PA can take these classes.The last I knew LPN's in Pa could not do IV Therapy?

Do they teach IV skills, and therapy in LPN programs?? Or do you have to take a seperate course when you graduate.

I gaduated from a school in NY where we were required to know drip rates and so on. A fellow student after grad. while working in NY was required to take a class apon completion was able to do all IV care except push meds. However I work in the state of PA., and was told LPN's did nothing with IV, making it quite difficult to fully function as an asset to my fellow coworkers seeing all meds are given IV. I was wondering if the law has changed or does the nursing board make exception based on jod neccesity.
Thank you for your reply any comments are well appreciated.
