NEW LPNs: *As of today, you do NOT have to have 6 months of LPN experience to use your IV certification! YAY!

This is based on the *TN Board of Nursing's Rules and Regulations for the LPN:https://publications.tnsosfiles.com/rules/1000/1000-02.20241008.pdf

This means you need to sign up to be IV-certified so you can (potentially) help more patients, be more valuable to your employer, and get paid more as you work as an IV-certified LPN. Let your employer know!

The next class: (BOTH days required)
~Friday, January 3 (7:30-4pm class by ZOOM only) AND
~Friday, January 17 (at TCAT Jackson, by appointment)

WHY choose US to receive your LPN Peripheral IV Certification Course? Let me tell you!

~The course meets ALL the requirements for Peripheral IV Therapy Certification from the TN Board of Nursing (TBON) including it being a 40-hour course (with required, self-study modules, class time, and IV skills time) and the course is based on the "Infusion Nurses Society (INS) standards". (They are the International organization for standards in IV therapy)
~Anita and Beth are both members of INS!

DID YOU KNOW?
~This class NEVER has to be retaken or renewed!
~LPNs completing IV certification courses often get paid more and/or have more opportunities! An awesome investment in yourself!
~We stick REAL veins! No plastic arms- the real thing!

WHY US (Anita and Beth)? Here are some reasons...
~We have a PASSION for teaching and preparing LPNs to perform at a higher level of care through this certification!
~We have training, credentials, and EXPERIENCE! We have over 8 years combined teaching LPNs and over 16 years combined teaching BSN students
~We have taught THIS CLASS for over 8 years and love it!
~We work hard to make the class FUN while learning-we have a PhD (Anita) and MSN (Beth) in Nursing Education but many former participants have told us we are very "down-to-earth", "approachable", and make the class a "relaxed" and "fun" experience to promote learning- ask LPNs who have taken our class!
~We have had LPNs COME FROM ALL OVER TN -East, Middle, to West TN- to take this course (plus some living in other states and one foreign country)! Perfect for travel LPNs!
~LPN SUPERVISORS from area hospitals, clinics, and long-term care facilities have sent their LPNs to us
~We are on the TBON website as providers of the course
