WESLEY CHAPEL (TAMPA), FL
NOVEMBER 8, 2010 | 7:30AM – 5:30PM
“I’ve been inserting IVs for 30 years and can’t believe how much I’ve learned!” As illustrated by this participant, whether you are a novice or a pro, this Intravenous Venipuncture Certification program will boost your clinical skills and your confidence. Held at the beautiful Saddlebrook Resort near Tampa, FL, this continuing education seminar provides in-depth venipuncture theory with multiple opportunities for hands-on participation to enhance the learning process. You will learn how to properly insert a peripheral IV catheter and understand important risks and complications associated with IVs.
Seminar content includes venous anatomy and physiology, vein identification, criteria for vein selection, device and gauge selection, complications, legal aspects, documentation, and the venipuncture procedure using a safety IV catheter. The Infusion Nurses Society (INS) 2006 Standards of Practice and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 2002 Intravascular Guidelines are also incorporated into this nursing program.
Certificates are awarded upon successful completion of a written test and practicum. The practicum includes locating veins by palpation and successful insertion of an IV catheter into a practice model. Participants must attend this continuing education class in its entirety to earn 8.0 contact hours of continuing nursing education from Perivascular Nurse Consultants, Inc. Instructional materials and a continental breakfast are also provided.

For the past 23 years, Sue Masoorli, RN, has made a successful career out of helping fill the need for nurses who are skilled in infusion therapy. In 1987, Masoorli, who had been the nurse manager of an IV team for 10 years and done home infusion for the previous five, founded Perivascular Nurse Consultants Inc., whose staff set up infusion therapy at home visits.
Today, the Philadelphia-based company focuses solely on education. Perivascular Nurse Consultants hosts classes and seminars nationwide and develops training videos and workbooks for healthcare professionals on how to properly place IVs and PICC lines. Masoorli, the president and CEO of the company, estimates it holds about 150 classes and trains roughly 3,000 nurses each year.
Perivascular Nurse Consultants’ focus on education has paid off. Three of the company’s training videos — ones on venipuncture, phlebotomy, and PICC line insertion — earned awards from the American Nurses Association.
With the company’s success has come individual success for Masoorli, who received an award from the American Cancer Society for her volunteer work. Additionally, she serves as an expert witness in nursing malpractice infusion cases.

Fee includes instructional materials and continental breakfast. Lunch is on your own.
Seminar sites are handicapped accessible and barrier-free.
Seminar room temperatures are difficult to control. For your comfort, please plan accordingly.
Infusion therapy seminars (especially IV and PICC Certification seminars) often include vein identification by palpation. During this portion of the day, participants will be examining their own and their neighbors' arms in order to become familiar with the locations of veins. It is advisable, therefore, that participants wear clothing in which bare arms can be accessed.
Certificates are obtained upon successful completion of the practicum portion of the Intravenous Venipuncture Certification & Phlebotomy programs. Criteria that must be met include: properly holding the device, retracting the skin, identifying the vein (palpation), inserting the device appropriately & obtaining a blood return on the practice model. The competency checklist must be completed.
ALL programs must be attended in their entirety in order to receive a certificate of completion.
