Directed Health Measures
Your safety and well-being are NHCA’s top priority. The event will follow local directed health measures in place at the time of the event.
Content
State regulations require all licensed practical nurses to complete an IV therapy eight-hour didactic course prior to Aug. 24, 2022. All LPNs must complete the didactic 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 requirements and do not need to complete the didactic and skills training.
Objectives
At the completion of this program, participants will be able to:
- Discuss peripheral intravenous lines.
- Discuss central intravenous lines.
- Describe legal aspects of intravenous therapy.
- Review infection prevention and control procedures.
- Identify information contained in the nurse practice act and regulations governing intravenous therapy.
Audience
This program is designed for LPNs who are required to complete an IV therapy eight-hour didactic course, which may include LPNs who are not LPN-Cs and who graduated before May 1, 2016.
Speaker
Jessica Broeker, BSN, RN, RAC-CT
