The Philippine Nursing Act of 2002 (R.A. 9173) stipulates that the administration of parenteral
injection is in the scope of nursing practice. ANSAP believes that the certification of IV therapist
will be continued for several reason, paramount of which is safe nursing practice.

Moreover, an RN must enroll in IV therapy training because most government and private
hospitals prefer RNs who are IV therapy-certified.
