What constitutes 1,600 hours of clinical infusion therapy experience?
The requirement of 1,600 hours of clinical infusion therapy experience ensures that the RN has sufficient exposure to infusion technologies and has the skill set required for knowledge of the infusion practice. Experience may be within one or several of the nine core areas: 1,600 hours of direct clinical bedside experience is not required. You may be an educator, researcher, administrator, manager, or nurse; if you have regularly practiced infusion therapy in any of those capacities as an RN within the past two years, you have more than likely obtained the requisite hours.
