Mission
Gurnick Academy of Medical Arts’ mission is to offer quality allied health and nursing programs that integrate professional skills, career-focused education, and hands-on practical experience by empowering students to develop and achieve their personal and career goals.
The IV course is intended for professionals who need continuing education. The course is designed to safely enable the Licensed Vocational Nurse to initiate and maintain intravenous therapy in a clinical setting.
The course covers IV therapy, arterial puncture, and blood withdrawal. It will prepare students to do the following: recognize complications and reactions, identify the role of IV therapy, differentiate actions, dosages, side effects, nursing implications, and more.
The non-accredited course will bring participants up-to-date knowledge and skills. This is a 36-hour course consisting of 27 hours of lecture and nine (9) hours of clinical experience. LVNs who complete the course will be certified by the California Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technician Examiners to initiate and superimpose intravenous fluids and blood withdrawal.
The course is three nine-hour days of didactic training on the theory behind intravenous therapy and blood withdrawal practices and principles. It also includes one nine-hour day of clinical practicum in the clinical skills lab setting.
Each student must complete a minimum of three individually supervised successful venipunctures and three individually supervised skin punctures (capillary blood withdrawal) on live human subjects. The standard completion time for this course is one week, excluding any holidays and vacation times.
Class schedules are subject to change. Gurnick Academy of Medical Arts might cancel the upcoming course schedule if the minimum enrollment of 15 students is not met within one week of the proposed start date. Students who opt not to register for the following course schedule will be subject to the Gurnick Academy of Medical Arts’ Continuing Education Courses Refund Policy.
