How does one become an IV therapist?
Becoming an IV therapist usually requires at least a two-year nursing degree (RN or LPN) from an accredited institution. After obtaining a nursing degree, therapists may complete specialized IV education training based on the regulations of the state where they practice.
IV therapy certification
Certification requirements vary by state. Some states, like California, Nevada, and Florida, mandate hands-on training, while California and Nevada specifically require the State Board of Nursing to approve the certification course. In states without strict mandates, many therapists pursue continuing education or online IV courses to meet employer requirements.
