IV therapy education

[momofm1998]

I have taught many IV therapy classes. I am very thorough and include all aspects of the education needed to have a good understanding of the process. I have been practicing as a family nurse practitioner for many years in a clinical setting. I have a renewed interest in teaching this class. I am a CRNI as well and was very involved in infusion therapy practice as well as education before my grad school and NP education. I am in Georgia. I prefer to teach independently instead of through a school. Very much one on one teaching. With this info, Do you, as infusion nurses, think there is a need for this education? or are there sources available for the nurse to get this education otherwise? I truly value your opinion.

I am actually looking for some training like this. I would like to transition to the infusion field and thought I would get myself some additional training to make myself more marketable but am having no luck. Do you just teach out of your home? Have you taught at school? Thanks!

my question regrading IV infusion  with IV butterfly 
Are the correct steps when  giving an IV infusion with butterfly :
1.Open the NSS bottle,

2. attach the IV system,

3.then attach the butterfly needle to the IV system

4. and squeeze out all the air,

5.then you can prick the vein  

Hope you will answer

Hi Kenya and Mima, 

I want to answer each post thoroughly but am pressed for time at this moment. Just happened to see an email stating my post had responses.

Kenya, yes, I have taught both through medical centers and through community colleges. At this time I prefer teaching privately one on one if possible. Or small groups.

Mima, I want to answer you about this procedure and will do so in next post..don't have time to do so right now. The procedure you described isn't quite accurate per INS guidelines, close but not there. Plz forgive, will respond after work.

OK I am waiting for your response
