“Believe me, I was the last one in line to want to try to start an IV on a child! But I had a marvelous mentor, and it turned out, I was a “good stick.” As most of us know, if we’re good at it, we actually save the patient pain by doing this painful task well. With each new skill, there was new foundational knowledge to learn. Getting an IV in was just the beginning of the journey. I sought out a credential that would reflect my knowledge base. I sought to become a Vascular Access-Board Certified™ (VA-BC™) nurse.” Read more from VACC President Antonia Fowler in her Letter from the President, on our blog now > https://lnkd.in/dta7tFnW

“I am their safety net,” says Dr. Brenda Gray about the role of pharmacists for patients with long-term vascular access. Pharmacists ensure patients with long-term devices have the right supplies and medications, but more than that, they can be advocates and educators for these patients.
