What is basic IV therapy training?

The Intravenous Therapy Program is primarily designed to ensure safe practice in Intravenous Therapy to uphold quality nursing practice. This program will enhance the nurses attitude, knowledge and skills in the delivery of their expanded role as intravenous nurse therapists. Through their knowledge of the nursing process, their holistic approach to patient care is enhanced and their clinical competence is achieved. [Top]

Why should I be an IV therapy certified nurse?

The Philippine Nursing Act of 2002 (R.A. 9173) stipulates that the administration of parenteral injection is in the scope of nursing practice. ANSAP believes that the certification of IV therapist will be continued for several reason, paramount of which is safe nursing practice. Moreover, a registered nurse enroll in IV therapy training because most government and private hospitals prefer registered nurses who are IV therapy certified. [Top]

Why should I train with an ANSAP-accredited IV therapy training hospital or provider?

A registered nurse should enrol in an ANSAP-accredited IV therapy training hospital or provider because ANSAP is the nursing organization mandated to administer and accredit basic IV therapy training for nurses. Refer to the following documents for more information: (PRC-BON Resolution No. 08, series of 1994; and

PRC-BON Protocol Governing Special Training on Administration of Intravenous Injections for Nurses)

Where can I register for IV therapy training?

An RN can register for IVT training in any ANSAP-accredited hospital or provider which offers basic IVT training. It is your responsibility to verify with ANSAP if the hospital/provider that you want to train for is accredited by them to conduct IVT training. Registration and/or reserving a slot for IVT training depends on the ANSAP-accredited hospital/provider. It could be through personal visit, phone call, text message or online registration.

[Top]

How can I register for IV therapy training?

Registration for IV therapy training depends on the ANSAP-accredited IV therapy training provider. Either by personal visit, phone call or online registration. [Top]

Why are slots for IV therapy training hard to find?

Slots for IV therapy training are difficult to find because of the increasing number of registered nurses and the growing demand for IV therapy trainings. IV therapy training providers are advised by ANSAP that participants should be limited to not more than 50 participants unless there are enough IV preceptors to follow up their individual return demonstration. [Top]

What are the requirements when I register for IVT training?

Must be a registered nurse with a current license from the PRC or certified Board rating for new nurses. (Certificate of Nursing Board Rating from the PRC is considered pending on the release of the PRC license for those who will be issued the first IVT card.)

[Top]

I just passed the recent nurse licensure examination and have not yet obtained the PRC license card, can I still participate in IV therapy training?
Yes, a nurse can still enrol in IV therapy training provided he can show the claim stub from PRC bearing his registration number as a registered nurse. However, depending on the hospital discretion or IV training provider, a PRC license card may be required. [Top]

How much is the training fee?

Training fee for basic IV therapy training ranges from Php 1,500 to Php 2,700. In some hospitals, the training fee is waived for their own staff nurses.

[Top]

Why are training fees of IV therapy training differ from each hospital?
Training fee varies depending on hospital's discretion. These fees are utilized for the costs on the use of venue, supplies, honoraria for facilitators, coordinators, speakers, lecturers and preceptors as well as lunch and snacks for the participants. [Top]

What can I expect when I attend the basic IV therapy training?

The Basic Intravenous Therapy Training consists of discussions of concepts in intravenous therapy and demonstration of skills in access-related situations. It consists of 24 hours didactic lectures and practicum utilizing Procedures I-IV checklist as the framework for providing safe IV therapy practice. Aside from the return demonstration of the IV therapy procedures, there are pre-test, post-test and evaluation of the course. [Top]

What are the procedures that I am expected to perform in the practicum?

After the didactic phase of the IV therapy training, each participant is required to show competency in the following procedures: Initiating and maintaining peripheral IV therapy infusions Administering IV drugs Administering and maintaining blood and blood components Preparing and maintaining Total Parenteral Nutrition One-on-One IV insertion under the direct supervision of a trainer/preceptor

[Top]

What if I fail in didactic and practicum

Passing a removal examination may be required for the participant. [Top]

What is the 3+3+2 requirement?

ANSAP requires the following case completion of: 3 cases of initiating/maintaining peripheral IV insertions; 3 cases of administering IV drugs; and 2 cases of administering and maintaining blood and blood components.

[Top]

How long should I complete the 3+3+2 requirement?

An RN must be able to complete and submit this 3+3+2 IVT case requirement to the ANSAP office within 3 (three) months after the 3-day basic IVT training. Failure to do so would require the RN to undergo the 3-day basic IVT training again. [Top]

What if I fail to complete the 3+3+2 within 3 months?

Failure to do so would require the participant to undergo the 3-day basic IV therapy training again. [Top]

Where can I complete the 3+3+2 requirement?

A registered nurse may complete the case requirements in the hospital where he underwent IVT training; where he is currently employed; or in a hospital which offers case completion duty. [Top]

I am not yet employed in a hospital, where can I complete the case requirements?
If not currently employed as a staff nurse, one can complete the case requirements in the hospital where he underwent IVT training or in a hospital which offers case completion duty. [Top]

Can I complete my case requirements in different hospitals?

No, a registered nurse must complete the case requirements in one hospital only and not in different hospitals (i.e 2 IV insertions in Hospital A, 4 IV insertions in Hospital B, etc.). [Top]

Do I pay an additional fee for the completion duty?

Some hospitals require a minimum fee (ex. Php 500) for the case completion duty. [Top]

What is the prescribed IVT Accomplished Requirements form?

The prescribed IVT Accomplished Requirements format by ANSAP or the respective ANSAPaccredited hospital is the form where the 6+6+2 cases should be written.
