Multi-User IV Therapy Mastery Certificate License

Build a Stronger IV Therapy Education Program for Your Organization

Give your clinicians a shared foundation that connects vascular access knowledge with everyday patient care. The Multi-User IV Therapy Mastery Certificate License brings together four learning pathways covering device selection, infection prevention, vascular access device management, and peripheral IV therapy.

With forty educational courses and the IV Therapy Mastery Certificate Examination, this license provides a structured resource for organizations seeking a more consistent approach to staff education. Support onboarding, reinforce established knowledge, and help clinicians progress toward the program’s Mastery Certificate requirements.

IV Therapy

Bring foundational concepts into the peripheral IV learning pathway. Topics progress from IV administration and patient assessment through insertion, validation, ongoing evaluation, and recognition of complications.

• Basics of IV Administration
• Fluid and Electrolyte Balance
• Parenteral Nutrition and Infusion Therapies
• Peripheral Vein Anatomy
• PIV Pre Insertion Assessment
• When is a PIV NOT Indicated
• Performing a PIV Insertion Procedure
• PIV Validating Successful Insertion
• Final Steps of PIV Procedure
• Assessment of PIV Site and Function
• Identification and Prevention of Complications (PIV)
• PIV Blood Draws and Blood Transfusions

IV Therapy Mastery Certificate Examination

The license includes the IV Therapy Mastery Certificate Examination and the education identified in the program as supporting its 40-CE requirement. The coursework gives clinicians a structured pathway toward completing the program’s certificate requirements and participating in the Mastery Certificate Registry.

Use this pathway alongside your organization’s supervised practice and clinical competency-validation activities to connect online learning with the expectations of each clinician’s role.

Support Consistent Education Across Your Team

• Standardize foundational learning: Provide a common educational pathway across departments, experience levels, and clinical roles.
• Strengthen onboarding: Incorporate focused coursework into orientation and preparation for supervised clinical practice.
• Address knowledge gaps: Give educators a broad collection of topics to support targeted review and ongoing professional development.
• Connect prevention with practice: Bring infection prevention, assessment, insertion, and device management together within one learning resource.
• Support a defined learning goal: Help clinicians work toward the IV Therapy Mastery Certificate through a structured education and examination pathway.

Who This License Is Designed For

• Healthcare organizations standardizing IV therapy education
• Nursing education and professional development departments
• Vascular access and infusion teams
• Clinical leaders developing onboarding and refresher programs
• Nurses and clinicians involved in IV therapy and vascular access care
• Educators and clinical preceptors supporting competency development
