PICC Nurse needing education on X-ray

Published

Specializes in Vascular Access Nurse.

I am a PICC nurse and I want to be able to clear my own chest x-rays without having to wait for a radiologist to read the x-ray and say the PICC is ok to use. That usually takes about an hour. I can tell if a PICC is good but I need some type of education to back me up.

I've heard of classes where they teach how to read just chest x-rays...has anyone else heard of this?
