Wether it's PO meds, liquid meds, or IV drip rates it involves the same math you learned in high school. The only difference is that it involves medication. Don't stress yourself out over it. It is quite simple.

I aggree with you totally NikiChiki. If you've never used this type of math before, this is a "different kind of Math". Once you learn it, it's fine.

Someone needs to get a sense of humor.

I thought someone out there might see where I was coming from.

I appreciate the support. For the record, I havent been in high school for well over 30 plus years. I just wish that a counselor would have leaked this out so I would have had time to prepare...so that I wouldnt be stressing as much as I am right now. The counselor said, dont worry it is easy and very slow. Since I have read many threads on the board...I dont agree with her but then again maybe she just didnt know. Anyhow, I know most of us will be busy once classes begin but I will let you know how the math is for me.

Thanks again so much for the much needed support.

You will be just fine. In a few months you will be wondering why you ever got worked up about the math. You will have many other things to be worked up about!

It's been a year now. I wonder how these ladies fared.

I am math challenged. Our lvn school required us to learn dosage and calculations, the book we used is easy and simple by Jane Rice- medications and mathematics for nurses.
