Not everyone will become an expert, and thats OK. But at a minimum, we want to impart every professional with the skill and confidence to start a routine, uncomplicated IV in their patient. Whether you are a new-grad who needs the essentials or a seasoned professional looking to learn some advanced techniques, everyone can always learn something new.
