I want to quit first RN job after a few weeks.
Always give notice of resignation. You do not want to be accused of "abandoning patients." Even if the issue of abandonment is not true, you do not want to go through defending yourself at a discipline hearing or even at your next interview.

IV certification in Illinois?
You should write or call the Illinois Nursing Board. According the Illinois Rule an "approved LPN nursing program" would have trained you and taught you to start short catheter peripheral intravenous therapy. See (f) This curriculum shall prepare the LPN to start peripheral intravenous therapy that consists of a short catheter inserted through the skin into a peripheral vein. AND paragraph g says, g) The curriculum shall not include the following procedures: 1) Administering chemotherapeutic agents via intravenous routes. 2) Starting or adding blood or blood components. 3) Administering medications via intravenous push or administering heparin in heparin locks. That means to me that running/starting an IV is out of the scope of an IL LPN and that the school may not have been accredited or maybe its curriculum was deficient.
