A comprehensive, full‑day training covering PICC and Midline catheter insertion using ultrasound and the Modified Seldinger Technique. Nurses receive step‑by‑step instruction, sterile field setup, guidewire handling, catheter advancement, measurement, tip positioning, and complication prevention.
Course Scope & Clinical Competency Notice:
This course is an advanced educational and simulation workshop designed to provide the theoretical framework, ultrasound anatomy, and simulated hands-on practice required for vascular access. Completion of this course awards California BRN continuing education contact hours via Empower Critical Care Institute (CEP #17993).Please note that classroom and simulation training does not substitute for clinical preceptorship or employer-validated bedside competency. In accordance with standard infusion nursing guidelines and California nursing regulations, final clinical credentialing and authorization to perform PICC line insertions on live patients must be completed at the student’s employing institution or under the direct supervision of an approved, clinically active preceptor at their facility.
2. Ultrasound-Guided Peripheral INTRAVENOUS (USGPIV) Training (4 CE Hours)
What you will learn
- Ultrasound principles and probe orientation: Understand how ultrasound works and how to position the probe to get clear images of the underlying veins.
- Venous anatomy: Identify and assess the size and depth of peripheral veins in different areas of the body, such as the cephalic, basilic, and median antebrachial veins.
- USGPIV insertion techniques: Learn both in-plane and out-of-plane techniques to visualize and guide the needle into the vein under direct ultrasound guidance.
- Patient care and safety: Reduce the number of needle sticks, minimize the risk of infection, and improve patient satisfaction by accurately locating veins on the first attempt.
This training is approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing (BRN), Provider #17993, for 4 CE Hours. This course is also recognized by other states like Alabama, Arkansas, District of Columbia, Washington DC, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Utah, Virginia, Washington and Wyoming.
