Need Help with Math/Conversions Content

Have you completed your chem prerequisite? Or any course that you used dimensional analysis in?

Yes. I received an A in chem

In that case, i think you're well prepared. Taking chem before the teas really helped me with that section.

I didn't see too many conversion questions. I also don't remember getting a formula for them.

Go over as many practice questions as you can so you feel more prepared.

Good luck

As the PP said, if you've passed Chem already, then you can definitely do nursing math successfully.

Yes, you do need to memorize a few conversions, but, honestly, not that many. The hardest part is that some conversions are rarely used in real life, but will appear on the test....for example grains!! I've never seen a med ordered as grains but i was tested on it in both LVN/PN school

(2013) and RN school (2016)

However, most conversions will be more regularly used and likely to be easier to memorize--mcg -->mg of something like Levothyroxine or Mg-->G IVFluids or Kg-->Lbs

Study and you'll be ok!!

Yes to Dimensional Analysis! It was so helpful to me as a tool! And, yes, as my wonderful Chem professor told us back in 2010, you'll use it as a nurse. I have many friends/coworkers/school-mates who prefer algebraic formulas, but I love my "Ladders" used in dimensional analysis.
