IV Therapy Academy

Whether you are from Australia, Canada, India or any other country outside the United States, this course is intended for anyone interested in starting an IV Therapy practice.

Unfortunately, we can not speak to any laws or regulations outside United States. If you are unsure whether our program meets the training requirements of your country, we would advise that you consult with an attorney familiar with the regulations in your country. Our course is nationally recognized and we hold the highest educational standards and comply with the requirements set forth by our continuing education accreditor.

An LPN may not be allowed to run infusions in your state, the nurse practice act would provide that information. An RN can administer in every state. As an LPN you can own an IV Therapy Practice, however, you might need an RN to run the infusions and a provider to complete their H&P and order the indicated infusion protocol. Providers are MDs, DOs, Nurse Practitioners (NPs), Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) and Physician assistants (PAs). The provider required will vary state by state. Some states allow NPs and CRNAs to practice independently (without physician involvement), others require NPs or CRNAs to collaborate with or be supervised by a physician. You will need to check your state’s Nurse Practice Act to determine the level of physician involvement that is required. If the Nurse Practice Act is vague or unclear we recommend consulting with a healthcare attorney familiar with your state’s scope of practice regulations.
