✨ Care Doesn’t Pause This Time of Year ✨

This time of year means different things to different people.

For some, it’s connection and time with loved ones. For others, it’s simply time that may be spent caring for patients, supporting colleagues, or finding moments of rest where possible.

We’re grateful for the clinicians who will be present for patients during this holiday season, offering skill, compassion, and care when it’s needed most.

To our clients and partners, thank you for your continued trust.
And to everyone who supports the work of healthcare, whether on the front lines or behind the scenes, we appreciate you.

Wishing everyone moments of care, connection, and calm this season, in whatever form they take. ~ the Vascular Wellness Team

If Your Facility Can’t Place Advanced Central Lines, Care Is Already Delayed.

When PICCs or other central access options are unavailable or unsafe, care doesn’t just pause; treatment is delayed, length of stay increases, and risk compounds.

That’s where Internal Jugular (IJ) central lines play a critical role.

IJ access is often the most appropriate option for patients with upper-extremity DVT, advanced CKD, prior mastectomy with lymph node removal, cellulitis, or severe contractures. These are not edge cases... they’re everyday realities in acute care.

The challenge?
IJ lines are advanced central lines that require specialized training and clinical judgment. Many facilities still rely on limited provider availability or external services, creating bottlenecks when timely access matters most.

At Vascular Wellness, nurse-specialist-placed IJ lines mean:

• Faster, clinically appropriate access
• Fewer delays waiting on providers
• Reduced risk by avoiding compromised veins
• High success rates with zero insertion-related infections

And now, South Carolina healthcare has taken a meaningful step forward.

With the new SCBON advisory recognizing RN-placed internal jugular lines, facilities across the state can expand bedside capability and deliver better patient outcomes... without adding delay.

What It Took to Bring Nurse-Placed Central Lines to SC: A behind-the-scenes look at the data, advocacy, and nursing leadership that changed patient care

History was made in South Carolina, not in an operating room, but at the bedside... by a Vascular Access specialist RN who refused to accept delays in patient care as just the way it is.

Whitney Page, RN, BSN, VA-BC, led a multi-year effort to expand the scope of practice for registered nurses in South Carolina, successfully petitioning the Board of Nursing to allow nurse-placed small-bore internal jugular central lines.

She didn’t just advocate... she built the case: gathering data, securing support from more than 50 providers, engaging board members, and demonstrating that specialty-trained nurses can place advanced central lines safely and effectively.

With 12 years of nursing experience and nearly six years dedicated to vascular access, Whitney brought both credibility and compassion to the table. Trained in advanced central lines across multiple states, she had seen firsthand how bedside placement saves time, reduces infection risk, and prevents patients from enduring unnecessary transfers and delays.

When the advisory was issued, Whitney became the first registered nurse in South Carolina to place a central line at the bedside... a milestone achieved through years of training, advocacy, and leadership. This is what empowered, specialty-trained nurses can accomplish when patient care comes first.

Read the full story of Whitney Page’s groundbreaking work... and how nurse-placed central lines are transforming care in South Carolina. 👉

Vascular Access MYTHS & FACTS
At Vascular Wellness, we’re committed to clear, evidence-based education when it comes to Vascular Access. Here are a few common misconceptions we’ve seen on social media lately:

Myth 1: “All nurses place vascular access the same way.”

✅ Fact: Bedside nurses are essential to patient care, but Vascular Access Specialist Nurses differ in that they complete advanced training, credentialing, & competency in ultrasound-guided and central line procedures.

Myth 2: “Central lines must be placed in Interventional Radiology.”

✅ Fact: Many central lines, including IJ CVCs, can be safely placed at the bedside by hospital-credentialed vascular access specialists, improving speed and reducing transfers.

Myth 3: “If the first attempt fails, the only option is IR.”

✅ Fact: Early consultation with a vascular access specialist often prevents escalation, reduces risk, and leads to faster treatment.

Myth 4: “All vascular access teams have similar outcomes.”

✅ Fact: Vascular Wellness maintains a 98%+ success rate and 0% insertion-related infection rate, supported by rigorous training, R&D, and continuous quality improvement.

If there’s a myth you’d like us to clarify next, let us know... we’re committed to transparency and education in addition to our main mission:
Advancing Healthcare and Empowering Nurses.

Real Patients. Real Training. Real Growth.

When even the most accomplished clinicians seek to sharpen their vascular access skills, they choose a program that delivers real-world experience.

Meet Christine... an NP, CRNA, and Lt. Colonel who has placed thousands of central lines. She came to Vascular Wellness to strengthen her PICC skills… and walked away with exactly what she came for.

With hands-on training supported by our expert procedural assistant, Jayla, Christine gained the confidence, technique, and repetition that only true, patient-based training can provide.

Her words say it all:
“Can’t say enough good things about this training and the staff at this program! I learned tons and am grateful for you helping me reach a goal!”

At Vascular Wellness, we don’t just teach in simulations... we train clinicians on real patients, with real challenges, to help them elevate their practice and expand their careers.

If you’re ready to take your vascular access skills to the next level, our training program is ready for you.

The First Nurse-Placed IJ in South Carolina Wasn’t a One-Off... Here’s the Bigger Story

The response to our recent post has been extraordinary. And it deserves a follow-up, because what happened in that case was much more than a single clinical win for patients.

Yes, it was the groundbreaking first nurse-placed Internal Jugular (IJ) CVC in South Carolina. But behind that moment were years of work:

➜ Vascular Wellness Nurse Clinicians advocating for expanded nursing scope
➜ Our team building a rigorous, specialty-level training program
➜ and preparing clinicians to safely perform advanced lines at the bedside

Our clinician, Whitney Page, who placed that IJ didn’t just make history; she helped make it possible.

And for those just discovering Vascular Wellness, here’s what many healthcare facilities already know:

➜ We are a vascular-access-only specialty practice
➜ Our clinicians are trained, skill-verified, and hospital-credentialed for advanced bedside line placement.
➜ We bring 98%+ success, 0% insertion-related infections, and hundreds of thousands of complex cases of proven results.

This wasn’t luck.
This wasn’t new for us.
This was the first time South Carolina allowed what our RN-clinicians are already safely and expertly trained to do... and we're still celebrating!

Thank you for the continued engagement. More case insights, data, and stories are coming. Stay tuned.

A Game-Changing First: Nurse-Placed IJ in SC

An elderly rehab patient needed IV access for antibiotics, blood products, and daily draws. However, her frail vessels, extensive access history, and repeated failed attempts by facility staff left the care team with no safe path forward. The facility called Vascular Wellness, and a Midline was ordered.

When the Midline wouldn't advance, transport to IR seemed unavoidable until the Vascular Wellness clinician suggested a better solution, and the patient's care team agreed.

Pivoting from the ordered midline, our clinician successfully placed South Carolina’s first Nurse-Placed Internal Jugular Central Venous Catheter (CVC), made possible by the new SCBON advisory.

Thanks to South Carolina’s new approval for nurse-placed Internal Jugular CVCs, and the Vascular Wellness clinician's ability to pivot and place an advanced line, treatment continued immediately at the bedside, avoiding delays, painful sticks, and the cost of ambulance transfer.

This landmark case shows how advanced vascular access can change outcomes in minutes.

CLABSIs & CRBSIs: The Hidden Difference That Changes Everything

Most central line infections are preventable... but only if your team knows what they’re truly dealing with. CLABSIs and CRBSIs aren’t the same, and misunderstanding that distinction leads to misreported data, delayed action, and avoidable harm.

Sepsis, extended LOS, CMS penalties, and higher costs all follow when central line infections aren’t identified and managed correctly.

But with expert insertion, meticulous maintenance, and a comprehensive Infection Prevention & Control Program, these infections can be dramatically reduced or eliminated.

Dedicated vascular access teams are proving it every day.

👉 Read the full article to understand CLABSI vs. CRBSI and how Vascular Wellness helps facilities prevent both.

Here's What REAL Vascular Access Training Looks Like

If you’ve ever wondered what real vascular access training looks like... beyond the slides, the theory, and the lectures... here’s what you can expect when learning in a truly hands-on environment:

✹ Live, Guided Practice
Instead of watching or reading, you’re performing vascular access under the guidance of experienced VA-BC clinicians who are right there with you.

✹ Real-World Case Learning
Every patient is different.
Training includes real cases that teach how to think, adapt, and make confident clinical decisions.

✹ Personalized, On-Site Instruction
Training is adapted to your team, your patient population, and your facility’s workflow, because no two clinical environments are alike.

Curious about how you or your team could grow with Vascular Wellness?
