Intravenous Cannulation (IVC) is a widely used, basic procedure carried out in all health care settings. Any kind of error or suboptimal practice can lead to serious complications and can worsen patient health. Objective: To assess the knowledge of nurses regarding IVC. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Horizon and Suvastu School of Nursing among post-RN BSN students from October to December 2023. Sample size was calculated with the help of openepi.com version 3.9 with a 95% confidence interval and a total of 134 participants were approached through the purposive sampling technique. Data were collected with Google Forms, shared with the students via whatsapp groups. An adopted questionnaire was used for data collection. Results: The results showed that 49.3% of participants were male, 50.7% were female, and 35.8% were between 26 and 30 years old. Considering the year of education, the majority 73.1% were studying in their second year. Results also showed that 35.8% of the respondents had a low level of knowledge, 32.8% had moderate knowledge, and 31.3% had a high level of knowledge regarding IVC. Conclusions: The study showed a low level of knowledge of IVC among nursing students; therefore, there should be an educational seminar to enhance the knowledge of nursing students regarding IVC.
