IV catheterization is an invasive procedure that needs to remain regulated and properly taught to individuals. Unlicensed assistants should not be allowed to perform such procedures. There is a level of distinction that needs to be maintained between those of us that went to school, took the boards, and happen proven our competency. Leave assistants to what they're good at: assisting. If they want to be techs/nurses, then go learn how tobe one.
