IV Therapy Certification at Broward-Miami Health Institute is a Florida Board of Nursing-approved 30-hour course for Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) and Registered Nurses (RNs). Florida law requires LPNs to complete BON-approved IV therapy training before they can administer intravenous fluids and medications; RNs often take the course as a structured refresher on current IV practice.
The course blends self-paced online coursework with a required in-person hands-on skills lab, where students practice peripheral IV insertion, dressing changes, and central line care under instructor supervision using IV simulation manikins.
Upon completion, graduates receive a certificate of completion documenting they've met Florida's IV therapy training requirement — expanding their scope of practice and opening doors to higher-acuity clinical roles.

IV therapy certification is one of the most in-demand add-on credentials for LPNs. Employers increasingly seek IV-certified LPNs for home health, long-term care, and outpatient infusion roles — market data shows IV-certified LPNs earning $33–38/hr in some regions, compared to a $30.55/hr national median for LPNs overall.
For RNs, the course serves as a valuable clinical refresher, reinforcing IV competencies for hospital, surgical center, and outpatient settings.
