Welcome to the Online Peripheral IV Training Course! My name is Crystal Uribe, I am a nurse practitioner currently living in Miami, Florida. I started my nursing career in the emergency department in the South Side of Chicago. The hospital I started in was not a level one trauma center but oftentimes was treated as one. I learned a bulk of my IV skills during these years in the emergency department as I cared for some of the sickest patients in a poor, unserved community. I spent many nights researching about the venous anatomy to help understand how I can improve. I spent the last several years doing travel nursing and continued to perfect my IV skills. I saw there was a huge missing piece in nurses and healthcare professionals never getting an opportunity to learn how to place peripheral IVs. This course is intended to be a guide in how to quickly increase your success during peripheral IV insertion. I discuss: advanced anatomy of the venous system and how you can manipulate it for increased IV success, how hypovolemia, increased age and obesity all impact the veins and how you can best position patients for increased IV success, and how cancer and chemotherapy impacts the veins. We go over case studies together and discuss our answers. This is a course that will help provide you with insight on what changes you can make to help increase your IV success.
