That's a good idea! I am going to check out if within my current workplace there's an option to train and transfer to med surg or some other dept. Thank you:-)

Thanks Davey. I want to do invasive procedures. It's just that i am nervous about making the switch. And also how to go about this? Could i go in the new grad programs that provide training or just a regular med surg position...?

I did Outpatient Psych for 7+ years and currently 6th month of Inpatient Geri Psych as an RN-BSN. I feel I need to expand my skillset and do something different. I am bored and feel a burnout. Maybe it's the workplace or just me, I want to transition. Any suggestions on how to go about it? Right now, when I look around for jobs, I shudder at the thought of initiating IV meds or ventilator care, as I have never done it outside of supervised Clinicals. Is there any hope for me? I can't do nights. I am in SoCal btw. Good market for job seekers but I feel kinda stuck in psych. Any ideas?

Thank you for your helpful post. I took mine Friday on 2/8/19 in California. I have been checking Breeze like crazy. I have the interim permit but feel that with an actual license, the job search would be much easier. I will check midnight tonight as it's Monday.

Hurst review is quite helpful and comprehensive. Lippincott book is pretty good too. Comes with about 4-6 comprehensive exams with tons of questions. Good luck.

Were you able to get your ABSN from UMFK? How did it go? I am curious if you took your NCLEX in Maine or went back to your state?

A patient is being treated for eclampsia with Mag Sulfate ordered for anticonvulsant therapy. The order reads: Administer Mag Sulfate 4 g IV over 15-20 min. The concentration is 50% (1g/2mL). How many mLs would be administered? You have placed the dose in a 50mL bag for piggy back into the main line. What rate is your pump set at to deliver the medication in the time ordered? Answer: So far I have - 8mL for the first question x mL/4g : 2mL/1g x=8mL How do I solve the second part? the timing and the 50mL bag is confusing me. Does anyone know how to do this correctly? Thank you.
