Hi,I am in a 12 month PN program and the MATH for Pharm. is killing me! I have been out of HS for over 12 years and I am having trouble because of the metric system and coverting in infusion rates, dosage calculations........remembering flow rates.....ratio /proportionI have been going to the tutoring that they offer but I am still worried. Finals are next week and then IF I pass I go on to clinicals. Any advice on the MAth or any websites that helped anyone out that you would care to share?

I can now do (most) calculations without hesitation or difficulty. Good luck! And yes, it does take practice, practice, practice!
