Dosage calculation books??

Published

I have to take the dosage calculation test before I can submit my nursing application. Any suggestions on good dosage calculation books? I searched all nurses and found a post from 2009, but was looking for suggestions a little more recent. Thanks in advance:)

I've heard that Calculate with Confidence is really good!

Specializes in Hospice.

Amazon has a few.

Specializes in ICU.

This is the book required for my program, I haven't used it yet because school doesn't start til Fall, but if its required its probably fairly decent, so I figured I'd share just as an option.

Clinical Calculations Made Easy: Solving Problems Using Dimensional Analysis: Gloria P. Craig RN MSN EdD: 9781608317905: Amazon.com: Books

I would look online for basic calculations for medications and practice it that way. A lot of people load their power points up. You could consider calculations for paramedics too. It could help you figure that stuff out.

I think our school uses Calculate with Confidence as well. Just wondering if I should look into another book with better reviews. Thanks!

Calculate with confidence is a great book and all you need to learn nursing math.
