A word about IV Therapy and State Certification

For those of you familiar with our courses, you will see that our class times have changed for IV Therapy. This change was mandated by the state. They will no longer accept home study time as counting towards the minimum 29 hr. of lecture and 7 hr. of clinical time. The State will no longer accept Computer Based Training (i.e. YouTube type instruction) time toward the minimum requirements, so please be very careful when selecting your course provider. Note: Because of COVID the State does accept live online instruction (i.e. Zoom) as an alternative to classroom instruction.
