How to become a vent certified RN?

Published

Hello All,

I'm a Pediatric RN in Southern California and work with many patients whom are vent dependent. I am interested in becoming vent certified, however, have not been able to find any information on how to do so, the only courses I have been able to find are 4-6 hour ventilator/ABG review courses that count towards CEU's.

Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The theory parts were done online and then it was 8 hours of in classroom time to get hands on time with different vents, dealing with decannulation, practice different types of trach ties you might encounter, etc
