Does anyone have a formula they use they love?? I'm on break but want to get familiar with the math soon....

We use mL/time in minutes x tubing (microdrip or macrodrip)

A very simple formula that i use

Fluid divided by time multiplied by drop factor :) it will be as

Fluid'/. Time * drop factor

This is my favorite!

This isn't mathematics. It's basic algebra. You took it in high school and passed it, or you wouldn't be in nursing school now. Go pull out your old algebra book and give it a spin. You won't even need to look at square roots. :)
