How hard is nursing math?

Published

I'm just wondering how hard nursing math is.....

I'm in a horrendous Chemistry class right now, and I'm just clueless as far as the math is concerned....

However, I took Statistics last semester and got an A. Are there usually formulas you use for dosage calculations? I have no problems with formulas and organized ways of doing math problems, but dimensional analysis makes no sense to me at all.

Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated! :redpinkhe

If you go to the Student Forums and click on the General Nursing Student Discussion, there is a sticky thread for nursing math with zillions of links. I've found many of the links provided by Daytonite very helpful. Complete online tutorials for nursing math; it even goes into grains etc. I put the direct link below.
