Whether you are new to the medical field, a long-practicing RN or LPN, or a healthcare professional wanting to learn new skills, an IV training course can give your career a boost. This is why HeartCert offers IV certification classes alongside our portfolio of CPR, CNA, and healthcare training courses.
What is IV Certification Training?
IV certification training is a specialized class intended for healthcare professionals, like nurses and medical assistants, to gain the knowledge and skills needed for safe and effective use of intravenous (IV) therapy. This course covers the fundamentals of starting and maintaining IV lines, administering fluids and medications, and monitoring for complications.
There are many ways in which IV certification can help your career. Here are just a few.
5 Career Benefits of IV Certification
1. Employment Opportunities
Becoming certified in IV therapy allows you to enhance your skill set; with these additional skills you become a more valuable asset in the healthcare industry. Holding an IV certification will help broaden your employment opportunities, which will allow you to work in more different healthcare settings.
2. Salary and Pay
Similarly, having more skills will make you a more desirable employee, which often leads to more pay. In addition, you may be able to specialize in vascular therapy. This position tends to have a higher salary than a RN or LPN.
3. Licensing
Once you complete the HeartCert IV training course, you will receive a certificate of completion. This certificate can be submitted to obtain continuing education credits.
4. Confidence
IV skills are used in a variety of settings across the healthcare field. By obtaining IV therapy certification, you’ll be more confident in your skills, no matter where you work.
5. Improved Patient Care
Being able to perform IV-related tasks confidently and accurately can lead to better patient outcomes. This gives you the ability to provide a higher standard of care and may make you a more valuable asset to your team.
Getting your IV certification allows you to expand your skills in healthcare, open up new career opportunities, and increase your earning potential. Whether you’ve recently started your career in the healthcare industry or are a veteran healthcare professional, this certification is a valuable credential that can set you apart.
