IV Therapy Certification

I've had the same issue. I'm from the Midwest and could kick myself for not doing my IV cert there. Readily available in Nebraska. But since I have been in New Mexico, it seems next to impossible to find. I'm now looking out of state. Good luck.

Yeah it seems to be difficult to find those classes. I am looking for them too.

I didn't think you needed a separate IV certification for NM as an LPN.

Yes, you do.

Thank you all for responding. I found that TSU has an IV certification course. Their next course will be Sept 16. It's from 8 am - 5 pm

I'm planning to take it that day. Good luck to you all as well!

In California, the IV Cert is an "official" certification that can be added to your license. I don't think that's the case in many other states. However, it is offered at many schools, private and public, and ranges from $300-$500 (3 day course) and you also get 30 CEUS. I also have a TX LVN license and found that IV cert classes aren't really offered anywhere and its something based on facility policy that allows LVNs to do IVs.

Thank you! I've been looking too & thought U of H or Sam Houston would have one but couldn't find one. I live in Magnolia but I'll go down to S. Houston for a one day course! Thanks!í ½í¸€

Hi, I'm a LVN in Houston, Texas. I would like to obtain an IV Therapy Certicate, but I'm having difficulty finding a college/school that provides this course. Any suggestions?

Probably difficult because Texas BON does not require LPN to be IV certified, but only recommends it. The facility you work at will dictate whether they allow it or not.

My original LPN license was from Indiana 2001 and when I applied to get license in Ohio at came as LPN-MEDS. I need the IV endorsement. Any one know where I can take the class near Lima, Ohio?
