In managing intravenous infusion, nurses must have enough knowledge about what is requested, why it is illustrated, its intended effect on the patient, and any conceivable adverse effects that may occur. They also must get it the principle for intravenous fluid organization and the type of intravenous solution requested. Education and training are two components of nursing staff advancement that occurs after an employee’s orientation. Thereby, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of going for intravenous infusion therapy program on nurses’ knowledge and skill at Heevi teaching Hospital. a quasi-experimental research design was applied. This study was carried on a probability (random) sample of (15) nurses in Heevi teaching hospital who deliver direct care for patients throughout the study time period. Data were gathered using three tools; socio-demographic data & nurses' knowledge about intravenous infusion therapy questionnaire sheet. According to the current study, two months following the program’s adoption, nurses' overall mean knowledge scores increased with a statistically significant difference. After four months of program implementation, this heightened level marginally declined, but it remained greater than before the program. The nurses' understanding has improved significantly after the nursing training about intravenous infusion therapy was implemented.
