PICC Competency
Just wondering if anyone's hospitals have a percentage the PICC nurses have to have for "successful" PICC placements. If so, is successful defined by venous access or actual placement?

We keep stats and these include successful insertions.  We define successful as actual placement.  I don't know if you wanted more info??
