IV therapy certification

[Natasha A., CNA, LVN]

Is it worth $200 to invest to get an IV therapy certification as a CNA? Will it help get my foot in the door at a hospital?

As a CNA you can't handle IVs. So no, don't spend your money on something that is out of your scope.

Thanks. I may have read the brochure incorrectly. I'll look into EKG classes.

You can't do EKGs either.

Are you gonna pursue further education in the medical field? You must look into what your scope entails & what you want to do is all outside your scope of practice.

CNAs can definitely do EKGs is my area anyway ..... You don't have to know that much to do them.

Here they don't train CNAs to be PCTs. They hire EMTs to be PCTs & they generally want experienced EMTs.
