Neonatal PICC Qualification Training

Prepare for the Distinct Needs of Neonatal PICC Practice

Develop foundational knowledge for PICC placement in neonates and infants. This course examines the patient, vessel, and procedural considerations that make neonatal vascular access a specialized area of learning.

Follow the process from device selection and family involvement through insertion and ongoing care. The course also introduces ultrasound as a learning area and explains how simulation, supervision, and documented assessment connect education with clinical practice.

What You Will Learn

• Indications, contraindications, and neonatal device selection
• Growth, development, vein anatomy, and insertion-site measurement
• Patient preparation, parental involvement, and minimizing trauma
• Insertion procedures, malposition, and complication recognition
• Neonatal flushing, dressing care, and professional considerations

Connect Education With Supervised Practice

Complete the coursework and post-test, document your learning, and arrange supervised simulation followed by patient insertions. Competency forms and a Global Rating Scale support observation and feedback. Continue supervised practice until the appropriate clinical assessment requirements are met; course completion alone does not establish insertion competency.

Continue Your Neonatal PICC Learning

Ultrasound is introduced as an additional area of learning. Develop assessment and needle-guidance skills through further education, simulation, and coaching from an experienced clinician. Learners interested in CNPI certification should review the separate application, experience, supervised-assessment, and examination requirements in the certification packet.

Who Should Attend

Neonatal nurses, vascular access clinicians, and educators preparing for supervised neonatal PICC practice.
