How do I become PICC qualified or certified?

To meet best practice standards, the first step to becoming competent to insert PICC lines is to complete a PICC insertion education program that meets national standards and guidelines.

The next step after completing class training is to perform PICC insertions under the supervision of an experienced PICC clinician. Clinicians are deemed "PICC qualified" to perform PICC insertion procedures once the clinician is deemed independent and competent in the procedure per employing facility policies.

After becoming independent in performing PICC insertion procedures with a preceptor and inserting a minimum of 25 PICC catheters, clinicians may optionally take an exam through a private company to further verify competency in the procedure,

Nurses working in the field of infusion and/or vascular access that seek to expand their professional options - may qualify to take the 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?
