LPN certifications

I've been trying to find information on the different types of certifications available to LPNs and Google isn't helping much. Anyone care to direct me to where I can find some info? I'm in Illinois if that helps.

Thanks in advance.

    Well,

    Illinois does NOT have a true LPN IV Certification Course, like its "sister state" of MO, but if you have received education and have proven your competence, then the state's practice act allows you to put in IV catheters, but said catheter needs to be less than three inches in length, and you can d/c an IV catheter, but again it has to be less than three inches in length. You may give fluids abd IV antibiotics into that peripheral IV catheter too. Illinois is VERY conservative on what they allow their LPN's to do in a clinical setting. And, each facility that you work for may pose even stricter regulations on your practice, but they should never be more lenient.
