If you give unlicensed personnel the ability to place IV catheters it will help decrease the workload for licensed technicians. However, it will take away the meaning of the title L.V.T. So unless we are given a new responsibility such as small laceration repairs without doctor assistance or being able to do uncomplicated tooth extractions, I am against this ruling.
