Disclaimer: 

This is NOT a training on how to run an IV or push fluids or medications. This is an IV placement class meaning we will teach you how to successfully place an IV catheter, tape it down, and flush it with a saline flush. You will NOT be a Certified IV Technician at the end of the class. Any IVs you place and then use for any medical procedure after completion of the course will be under the supervision and liability of the doctor for whom you are employed by, NOT RMDC, Rocky Mountain Education or Express Lab.
