  3. New Grad Needs Resume and Cover Letter Critique

  12. IV calculation Help!

    I will take a stab, I could be wrong hopefully someone will let you now if it is incorrect. 1. 100 ml x 60 gtt / 240 minutes (your four hours from 4:30 pm to 19:30) = 25 gtt 2. I think just take the 1000 ml / 12 hours it is to run = 84 ml/hr
