there is a book called "IV's for Dummies", or something like that, but it costs about $35. You might try your school library and copy pages that are pertinent. I bet anxiety just overwhelmed you. Once the light turns on you will find yourself hoping your tests have math in them---only one answer!!
Don't panic...I do freak out when I see math cals on my exams and quizzes. And practice does make perfect.
Might want to try these websites as well:

http://www.accd.edu/sac/nursing/math/ivprob.html
http://www.cs.jcu.edu.au/nursing/Overview.html
http://www.delta.edu/tlc/TLCStudySupport/mathforscience/NursingMath/nursingmath.html
Hope these help. Good luck to you!
I was totally freaking when I had a big drug calculation test earlier this semester, too! I ended up doing well, but I'm rusty now b/c I haven't been keeping up with it.
Here's another page of drug calc links:

I went to my local CC and checked out several drug calc books to use their practice problems in since my text really didn't have that many. I needed to do them over and over and over to get the hang of it.
Good luck! And I agree to ask about tutors, etc. from your advisor. Our pharm teacher held an extra review session for the people who didn't pass it, and will give extra help, etc. if you ask for it.
Here is a pretty good site where you can take quizzes and get Immediate Feedback.
