Common Peripheral IV Myths: Aligning Practice with Evidence-Based Standards of Practice

INS invites you to join our partner, the Academy of Medical-Surgical Nurses (AMSN), this Thursday, May 7, for a free educational webinar designed for nurses at all experience levels on Peripheral IV catheter (PIVC) insertion and infusion practices.

PIVC insertion and management are essential skills across all care settings, yet practice variation and persistent myths can increase the risk of complications such as infection, phlebitis, extravasation, and occlusion. This webinar will examine common misconceptions in PIV insertion and peripherally administered infusion therapy, and present evidence-based strategies to improve patient safety and clinical outcomes.
