Med calc trouble on NCLEX

Published

Hey. I took my NCLEX today and had 3 med calc questions, the mcg/kg/minute to ml/hr type, and I could not remember how to do them, was too stressed maybe. Anyways, I missed it the first time, but then I got the same question with different numbers two more times, and I could not figure them out. Am I screwed??? Anyone with a similair experience? Not feeling so hot.......

I doubt that those three questions are going to be the ones that cause you to fail. Relax until you get your results. Wishing you good luck.

hey pawer....just try to relax....i really don't think the 3 med calcs did you in either...i am so lucky that i did not have any calcs on my boards...i am embarrassed to say that i have a degree in finance and i usually am a wiz at math...but i have to tell you i struggled all through nursing school with math calcs...i just get so nervous and can't figure out how to do it when the answer is right in front of me...i feel your pain...i will keep you in my prayers...good luck
