Initial PICC line competency

 

Regarding education for a nurse to become competent in PICC line insertion.  I am looking into training one of the OP nurses to move over and do PICCs with me.  she has been assisting me with line care and maintenance

for several months now and is an experienced nurse. 

 

The class/theory portion of education;  does it need to be a live class with simulation or is it ok to take an online course ?  I would then follow with a preceptorship of the nurse.  I am looking for course in South Florida and am finding alot of places offering the education portion on line.

 

 

Thanks, Gina
