Math for Meds: Dosages & Solutions

Published

Hey! I start my RN program in January and want to try and get a bit of a head start on my math calculations for those infamous tests! Math is not my strong suit (though I've surprised myself a few times... I'm better at it than I think I am!) so I want to feel confident in my skills going into the program... I know there is enough stress the first semester without worrying about math!

I've read a few suggestions about the Math for Meds for nurses book by Anna Curren. I know things change all the time in medicine, but I was wondering if anybody had any input on if an older edition of Math for Meds would still be very helpful? Or should I empty my wallet for the latest (read: more expensive haha) edition?

Thank you so much ahead of time!! :nurse:
