Where did you get them?
Do you get more money for having them?
Do you know of any online Cert classes or traveling classes?

I myself am IV Certified and I reacived my cert through Neihborcare RX. I had thought about having my job pay for me to take the wound care class in either NJ or PA since those are the closest sites to me
My job doesn't give an added bonus for my Cert. but they want me to throughout the facility to do IV Therapy. How about that one, crazy isn't it
I have seen the other thread about additional cert's but I wanted to know about your personal experiencesh
So how about anyone else?

I am certified in IV therapy for the elderly and central lines, and I received this certification through APS (American Pharmaceutical Services). My workplace sponsored me, which enabled me to attend at no cost to me. Otherwise, the class would have cost about $400.
I was reading my Advance for LPN's magazine and found so certs we can earn.
