G to MG to MCG? Is there a easy way to remember?

Nursing Students NCLEX Nursing Q/A

Any tips or advice on med conversion calculation of grams to milligrams to micrograms? I looked through a few books but it doesn't really give easy ways to know this.

I remember seeing something like this but ugh I don't have my notes on it.

For example: 1g (divided by 1000=) .001mg (divided by 1000=) .0000001mcg

Is this right?

This video has helped but I'm still lost...
 

I agree that Inland18's ladder idea is a good way to remember this.

Ok, I use really stupid things to help me remember stuff like this. The dumber, the better.

mcg is like a gallon of gasoline.

mg is like a can of gasoline.

g is like a tank of gasoline (Don't see many of those while in school)

kg is like a truck load of gasoline.

I hope this helps someone, even if it just makes you smile.
