There is a IV Therapy course through one of the mail order course groups. I think it is Western but am not sure. The Manual of IV Theraputics by Phillips is the text. In Florida the Community Colleges offer the 30 hour course several times a year. Call the Community College near you and inquire.

We don't "have to," we want to.
Becoming certified in an area (e.g., hospice and palliative care, critical care) means you have sought out training and study, and someone has developed a set of criteria against which you have been measured, and found to have met certain standards.
It is not a state thing--wish it was! It is a "guild" or professional thing, and the professional organizations are normally the ones who develop the criteria and administer the tests.

Hoping someone can tell me where I can find an IV therapy certification course for RN's - I live in Aliso Viejo (Orange County) California. I work in a local hospital, med-surg, and need to become certified in california. I haven't been able to find any kind of BASIC IV therapy course for certification in california. Any help, leads or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks ! Lisa Clark, RN
