To me, drug calculations are fairly easy. Once you learn the steps and continue to use the calculations, you shouldn't have a problem. The only tip I can provide you, since you haven't started yet, is if your school doesn't provide a drug calculations book, it would not hurt to buy one. Many are inexpensive as they just teach you how to do the math and then give you example problems.

It's just alot of conversions from standard to metric, and alot of formulas for dosage calculations. You will need to know ratio:proportions, temp conversions from C to F, dimensional analysis, etc. You learn how to read medication labels. If you do the practice problems you will do fine.
