What are self-scheduled classes?

"Self-scheduled" classes are a class scheduling option we designed to make our live private classes more available.

How do I become midline qualified or certified?

The steps to becoming certified or credentialed to qualify to insert midline catheters is to first take a reputable midline insertion education class. This is followed by performing midline insertion procedures in patients under the supervision of a clinician experienced in midline insertions. The number of supervised procedures required and the qualifications of the preceptor is dependent on the healthcare organization's policies and procedures.

After becoming independent in performing midline insertion procedures with a preceptor, meeting policy requirements of the clinician's employing organization, clinicians are deemed qualified to perform midline insertion procedures.

Nurses working in the field of infusion and/or vascular access that seek to expand their professional options - may qualify to take an exam for national certification as an infusion specialist and/or board certification as a vascular access specialist through national professional specialty organizations.

Can the private class date be rescheduled after registration?
