Iv certification tx

I am afraid for my job. I am not iv certified (other Lvn's aren't either) and keep getting pushed to do iv and venipuncture. Have been employed more than 5 years and reported to admin. multiple times. They gave us a very short (one hour) in service from guys who said they don't have any idea about board requirements and they have never taught before. Also had nothing to support their qualifications to teach. What the heck do I do??? My HR is supportive but one provider and my supervisor told me I shouldn't be going to HR help

    Well,

    What does your state say that you can or should not do as a LPN/LVN? If you are allowed to perform certain IV procedures after education, seek that education and have a RN supervise you and fill out a skills checklist on you showing you have proven competency. NEVER do something that is outside of your scope of practice, or that you aren't comfortable with. A one hour inservice Can NOT and Should NOT ever take the place of a well structured, comprehensive infusion program. I recommend our IV programs for all RN's and LPN desiring education and better patient outcomes.

    What state do you live in?

    . I am in Texas and our board states Lvn's cannot do them without certification but many here are. They even push meds! Scary
