LPN IV Therapy Course – Online Version

REGISTER HERE

Speaker: Pamela Truscott, MSN, RN, DNS-CT, QCP

Content: There are new state regulations that require all licensed practical nurses to complete an IV therapy eight-hour didactic course prior to Aug. 24, 2022. All LPNs must complete the training to maintain an active Nebraska license, regardless of whether they will be performing IV therapy in their work setting. This course meets the didactic portion of the new requirement and counts toward the annual continuing education requirement for an LPN license. LPNs who have been previously licensed as LPN-Cs or graduated after May 1, 2016, have already fulfilled the new requirements, and do not need to complete the didactic and skills training.

Objectives: At the completion of the training, the participant will be able to: 

1. Be able to identify peripheral intravenous lines
2. Be able to identify central intravenous lines
3. Understand legal aspects of intravenous therapy
4. Understand infection prevention and control procedures
5. Be able to identify information contained in the Nurse Practice Act and regulations governing intravenous therapy

Audience: LPNs that graduated before May 1, 2016 and have not completed an IV therapy eight-hour didactic course.

CE Credit: 8 hours of continuing education are available.

Price: $99
