Support this change. Assistants are not allowed to place IVC, unless they are in school. They are allowed to place IVC when they are in school.  Now let's fast forward to when they graduate from school, guess what ... they can't place IV's anymore because they are not in school anymore. They went to school to learn the anatomy, physiology and advanced skill of placing IV, so why can't they continue to use that skill? What if they do not pass the test the first time, they continue to not use the skill that they have learned.
