30-hour IV Therapy Course

South Florida Healthcare Institute offers an innovative approach to the traditional 30-hour IV Therapy course, that is required for Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN) to take, prior to administering intravenous therapy to their patients, upon graduation. This course can also be taken by Registered Nurses (RN) who would like to enhance their IV insertion skills. Upon registering, each student will receive a unique link, to access the online portion of our program. This online program consists of 8 modules with full motion graphics, videos, simulations, references, and critical thinking exercises that engage learners, while incorporating considerations for various health care settings and patient populations. This program was also developed in alignment with the INS’ Infusion Therapy Standards of Practice to provide learners with foundational knowledge of infusion therapy. Students will have lifetime access, so that they may refer back, and refresh their skills, at anytime.
