REQUIREMENTS:

– The state of California requires each LVN student to perform three (3) live venipunctures in addition to multiple finger sticks on fellow students as part of practical training. Participation in hands-on testing with fellow LVN students is mandatory. This requirement is optional for RN students.

All safety protocols, procedures, and potential complications are thoroughly reviewed prior to any hands-on practice.

A waiver must be signed prior to participation. If a student is unable to receive a live stick for any reason, a proxy may be brought in their place to fulfill this portion of the training.

– If you cannot be stuck & you do not have access to a proxy, you will not be able to participate in the live stick portion of the course, which will result in non-certification.

– LVNs with valid VN #'s will be issued an IV Therapy/Blood Withdrawal Certificate upon successful completion of this course. LVNs w/ pending numbers or students will receive a temporary certificate of completion that may be shown to current or potential employers as proof of course completion. These students must provide IV Experts with/ a valid VN #. All State paperwork will be sent to the BVNPT by IV Experts on the student's behalf upon successful course completion. Student will receive the original documents and certificate for their records.
