Let me start off by saying that I am an RN, so you may wonder why I would want to take an IV insertion class when inserting IVs is already within my scope of practice. I am a year out of nursing school, and the only time I've started an IV was once during clinical 2 years ago. I know practice makes perfect, but I do not get the practice. Does anyone know where I can find an IV insertion class in the Chicagoland area? I desperately want this.
If you are not inserting IVs on a regular basis the class is a waste of time and money. If you have the oppertunity to insert them at work put your hand up to try your colleagues as well as your own.
