A word about IV Therapy and State Certification

For those of you familiar with our courses, you will see that our class times have changed for IV Therapy. This change was mandated by the state. They will no longer accept home study time as counting towards the minimum 29 hours of lecture and 7 hours of clinical time. The State also no longer accepts Computer Based Training (i.e.YouTube type instruction) time towards the minimum requirements for certification, so please be very careful when selecting your course provider.
