IV Therapy Training...

An ever-increasing trend in Philippine nursing... Is it caused by the growing need for Renal Nurses, a contemporary hospital requirement, a competence update, or just merely boredom... Anyway, for whatever reason it is, it is best to get through with it.

What you need to do, is to apply for an IV Therapy Training in any institution accredited by ANSAP as a training facility. Well, to name a few in Davao, there is:

• SPMC (Southern Philippines Medical Center) - where most of the IV Therapist in Davao had undergone training.

• DMSF (Davao Medical School Foundation) - only if you're already working or training in other medical establishments, where you will accomplish your Intra-Venous case requirements.

And a lot more, from other places in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao… you may search the net or ANSAP website for the list of other accredited training resources all over the Philippines.

I’d advise you to review your anatomy, especially peripheral vein locations or IV Access – Anatomy, your IV flow rate and IVTT drug administration computation, and blood transfusion process. You may search the net for actual videos and thoroughly process and retain the information by heart, for there might be a test on your knowledge, it is better to come prepared.
