Vascular Access Management: Peripheral IV Therapy-Best Practices for Nurses

Course overview

IV placement and maintenance is one of the most commonly performed procedures for nurses in the acute care setting and is becoming more and more common in the ambulatory setting. This is quite often a procedure that causes a lot of anxiety for the new nurse graduate or nurse coming from a setting where IV therapy is rarely or never initiated. This course is designed to teach the nurse what is needed to feel confident in performing this procedure, and to ensure they will follow current best practices to ensure the best outcomes for their patients receiving IV therapy.
