Stating that someone is competent involves observing actual
performance in the real clinical setting, not just a simulated
setting of a classroom. So an education company from outside your
facility could not state that someone was competent unless the
facility has contracted with this company to do clinical precepting.

I would like to see IV courses referred to "validation" or something
else. 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.
