I don't regard a certification to be established by AVA as a
certification on infusion therapy that would duplicate the one from
INS. The organizations have different missions, goals, and
memberships. The AVA certification would be addressing vascular access
for multiple disciplines while the INCC certification is about all
infusion therapy for nursing only. There may be some overlap but that
is acceptable in my opinion. Lynn

Hi gang-I was hoping to see some discussion regarding this on the list, but have not so I thought I would get the pot stirred upĀAVA announced at the Town Hall meeting that they are working on a new certification, one that may have 2 levels, one for licensed (MDs and RNs) and one for unlicensed (manufacturers, sales reps). What do people think about this? Is it a duplication of efforts? Will those that have a CRNI go ahead for this certification also? My experience has been that so few people know what a CRNI is, that yet another certification in infusion may confuse them. Are there any other specialties that have more than one certification? I could not think of any. I am interested in hearing what group has to say. Thanks
