  1. Do I need a BSN to be an IV nurse?

    Preludemann replied to morningland's topic in Infusion, Intravenous
    Quick answer nope. there are actually two different certifications in IV nursing. CRNI- which i think is more based on administration of meds/Chemo and policy - Test is quite difficult - The other IS VA-BC which is Vascular Access Board certified, which the test is less involved in medication but more relates to Vascular access and Vascular access devices,you need to have two years experience In IV therapy before you qualify for either. I have people, including my Assistant director who failed the CRNI exam. IF you wont be administering/Mixing chemo etc.. Go with VA-BC. I did and didn't even study for the exam. two websites for your reading http://www.avainfo.org and Welcome to INS1 - Infusion Nurses Society AVA is VA-BC and INS is CRNI. but BSN is never a bad idea anyway. cost of exams for certification are about the same ($500 )
