Maine IV Therapy Education

Course overview

This course has been designed to provide the education for the infusion procedures allowed by the Maine Board of Nursing for LPNs practicing IV therapy. In February 2020 the board made changed to their rules regulating LPN practice and these rules will be reviewed. In early 2024, the Infusion Nurses Society (INS), recognized as the global authority in infusion therapy, released the updated Infusion Therapy Standards of Practice. The INS establishes the accepted standards for infusion therapy practice for all healthcare settings, and for all healthcare clinicians providing infusion therapies and vascular access, addressing the needs of special patient populations. This course is based on the current best practices as defined by the Infusion Nursing Society and other governing agencies such as the CDC, and FDA. This 14-hour continuing education course provides a low stress, convenient method of obtaining quality infusion education incorporating various educational techniques designed for the adult learner and may be completed on your time schedule. A passing score of 80% or greater is required. Within the course content, the participant is provided a complete set of skill competency checklists for completion with a preceptor at the facility level. This preceptor and skills to be performed is designated by the facility policy.
