I would like to say that they are competent. No certification etc..... Bob

To be "certified" in IV therapy, one must take and pass the exam for CRNI. There is a big difference and I think nurses who go on to study for, take the exam and pass are recognized for their knowledge and excellence in IV therapy. A course which lasts a few hours and gives someone a "certification" is an insult to all of our colleagues who have earned CRNI---a credential after their names. Note: forwarded message attached.
