IV certification?

U.S.A. Ohio

Published

If this has been answered somewhere else in this forum please show me where.

I'm looking to get IV certified in the Columbus area, I'm awaiting verification of license(LPN/LVN) from CA, where I'm pheblotomy certified but not IV. I thought the Red Cross did it, but I dont see the class on thier schedule. Is there anyplace semi-local (I'd go to Cleveland or Cinci for a weekend if necessary) where I can get this? I just got hired at a new job and they'd like me to be certified ASAP.

thanks in advance

Try Educational Concepts I'm pretty sure she has a web site. This lady runs an IV cert program and goes all over to do it.

Please expand on your question. Why does the facility you work at not have a program in place to certify you? Usually a couple of classes, some review of certain drugs, a review of fluids, lines, catheters, site care and 10 sticks completed is enough to certify anyone, RN or LPN.

I'll be starting a new position at a Pain Management clinic tomorrow. It is an office with just one doctor, not a large facility. They want me to get my IV certification but I had no idea where to get it. Thanks to above posters I have a few more places to look.
