CEUfast is Partnering with Providers to Meet the Hands-on Requirement for Florida LPN IV Certification
CEUfast is proud to announce we have developed a series of courses that meet the 24 hours of the online portion of the LPN IV Series continuing education. Additionally, we are partnering with facilities to provide the required 6 hours of hands on skills practice. With the combination of written and hands-on training, students are able to fulfill the 30 hour requirement for Florida LPN IV Certification.
Julia Tortorice, CEUfast CEO and lead nurse planner stated “Contact hours for LPNs in any state are earned by completing this course. This is part of a series of 24 contact hours of courses to prepare for LPN IV Certification in Florida. Florida certification participants must schedule a 6-hour hands-on class and return demonstration to complete IV Certification. The 6 hour hands-on class is not provided by CEUfast.com”.
By working with on-site instructors, CEUfast is able to provide 24 of the 30 required intravenous therapy education hours for students completing the live demonstration portion of the requirement. Together providing a comprehensive Florida LPN IV certification program.
