I believe only licensed individuals should be able to place IV catheters among other tasks. I've read that the lack of finding quality licensed LVTs is a problem in the state of Va. How about clinic owners supporting some of your assistants and encouraging them to look into the many LVT programs that are available now. I graduated in 1991 when there was only 2 options. There are so many now, any lack of doing so I see as lack of drive, plain laziness, or disrespect for our profession. Thank you for your time
