Drug calculations

[Heidi 87]

Hi there,

I just wondered if any one knows of any good websites or books which would help me with drug calculations. I've just started my 2nd year of nursing and i'm really struggling with the drug calculations, its really worrying me!

It'd be great if anyone knows of any books or websites which would help me, many thanks.

Heidi :)

Books: Calculate with confidence( what we used in my program)

Dimanesiaonal Analysis for meds( something i used before school to teach myself)

if you do a search on allnurses or even just go to the NURSING STUDENT ASSITANCE forum then they have a sticky( they did last time i checked) on dosage calculations

good luck!!!
