Personal Comments
You may not remember me, but I have called you several times asking for advice with PICC questions ( I may be the reason you started this......smile), and you have always been there for me, not being mean or rude but genuinely helping me, when technically you didn't have to. I took your PICC course as a supplement for another course that I had taken and I was very impressed. After I began to insert them, as you know, I ran into one obstacle after another and I would call and you would be there. I just wanted you to know how very special I think you are and this group really helps us nurses that are inserting. I am 1 1/2 hrs away from the closest city and I am the only one in our hospital that inserts them, so for me it is like life and death when I come across an issue that I don't know the answer to. You are my blessing.
THANK YOU!!!!

PICC Certification
I have been involved in PICC placement, education and inservices since 1993. Many people have used the term "certified" loosely. Now there is a standard qualification process and test so employers as well as peers will know someone has a consistent knowledge base of PICCs. The questions were fair, enough humor without being dry, and the two hour time limit was appropriate.
Thanks!
Comments: I switched between a mouse and keyboard for the answers, when I did I forgot a couple of times to enter an answer. Don't know if your tech support could put in a prompt reminder--No answer supplied, do you wish to supply one? or something like that....maybe the program format would not allow this. Also if there was a prompter about the timer so the person would know if they were going too slow, had time to ponder an answer, etc. There were a couple of repeats of questions on the exam.
Overall, it was very fair.

The DVD’s were wonderful. I have attended 2 other PICC Classes by other companies and this one is excellent. This was a very valuable program. We recently developed a band new PICC team at our facility. By attending this program I am confident that our PICC team will run properly and safely and offer huge benefits to our patients and our community.

I was truly lucky to meet Nancy very early on in my career, as I had no possible way of knowing what an invaluable resource she would become over my time as a vascular access specialist. When I began, I had no mentor, no colleagues, no manager and no support; I relied on Nancy’s kindness, passion and knowledge with my tougher cases. As my confidence grew, I still trusted Nancy for help with access to evidence-based documentation and general advice.
PICC Excellence is not only a resource for any nurse new or one old to vascular access, it is the yardstick for all others to be measured. Nancy’s expertise and her style is one in a million—it is no wonder she is the most popular instructor in the world. PICC Excellence provides me with information constantly in this ever-changing profession. The staff is easy to reach, helpful, knowledgeable, and treats you like family. I am fortunate enough to consider Nancy a good friend, and I am grateful to her and to PICC Excellence for all they have done for me and my patients.
