In Advanced Acute Care II (NURS 321/431) students will receive theory and lab practice on IV starts. Students can request an IV Start Certificate once they have passed their certification exam and obtained 3 supervised successful starts. If you require a new signature form, please contact your Lab/Lecture instructor from either NURS 321 or 431. The Faculty of Nursing Undergraduate Office does NOT have copies of this form to provide for students.
To initiate the request, you will need to use the Student Service Portal and select the "Student Services Catalog" option as shown below.
You will now see a list of requests available in the system across multiple departments and Faculties. Scroll to the bottom of the page to the Nursing category.
Select the option titled "Nursing IV Start Certification"
Once selected, you will be prompted to provide two pieces of information:
Your Full Name (as you would like it written on your certificate)
Attach a photo of your completed & supervised IV starts
Once you have submitted, your request will have been processed and a member of the team will share a copy of your IV Start Certificate with you. Please note that the Faculty of Nursing does not store these documents -- make sure you save it somewhere that it won't get lost!
