Becoming an IV certification instructor

Does anyone know anything about this, particularly in California? There is VERY little info online (did some Googling already), and I e-mailed the CA BVNPT, which is what they said to do for info (but I doubt I'll hear back anytime soon). While I'm a pretty new nurse, I've been doing a lot of infusions, have become the go-to IV inserter at the birth center where I work, did a zillion IVs in the military, and was a phlebotomist, but I don't know what of this will count toward whatever is needed. Do I need to get my CRNI? (I do not yet have enough infusion hours for this.) Any guidance and info is appreciated.

Obtaining your CRNI, will be a huge help as it gives you the credibility you need to be able to speak the language as an Infusion Expert. Now, are there some nurses out there who are incredibly knowledgeable and they don't have their certification in IV therapy, yes.. I'm sure that there are, but having the Certified Registered Nurse Infusion (CRNI) will open so many more doors for you. So, I'd suggest becoming proficient in CVC management and care and then sit for an exam near you.
