VACC Certification

Published

I am currently studying for my Vascular Access Certification, I have the study guide you can buy from AVA.

The study guide seems so simple, does anyone have any ideas of what else I could also study or take practice questions?

Thanks!!

Thanks for responding. I got prelim results but have not gotten final word. I'm so nervous!!

Finally took my VACC! Went well so far have not received the official results yet.

They now have practice questions avaiable on the VACC site! They were pretty basic but helpful to see the type of questions!

Just leaving this for the next person passing through :)

Glad to hear I wasn't the only one. I felt like half of my test was research questions. Took and passed mine in 2015

I took the very first examination which happened (I think) in 2009 or 2010 ish. I can't remember. Anyway, I keep myself informed via the INS guidelines. I'm actually going to recertify in December and I just bought my new copy of the INS standards. I'll brush up on that info as I think anything they recommend will be good enough. There are some areas that I do not cover in my practice so I think having the information, like on peds, is invaluable.

Oh, I just looked at the date of this post. Sorry, I'm responding way out of the timeline but none-the-less..... INS is a good source.
