I.V. certified

Does anyone know if you can or can't get i.v. certified? I know you can through nursing, but is there any other way???

Depends on what you are certified in now. Several level's of prehospital care allow one to get certified.

Call the board of nursing and ask. Such may also be regulated by the department of health and safety.

call the education dept of a local hospital. The educators will know.

National Registry EMT Intermediates can start IVs in most locales--check with your local EMS providers to see if yours is one. Good luck!
