IV infusion rates please help

I am trying to figure out how to calculate an infusion rate for an order of 1000 ml of NS at 60 ml/hr continuous. Can someone please give me some direction? Thanks!

I think you are WAY overthinking this.

60 mL/hr is your infusion rate.

Is there more to the question?

Are you trying to figure how long the infusion will take? Well, if you have 60 ml infuse every hour (60 ml/hr), how many hours will it take 1000 ml to infuse?
