Hi Please help; bit confused and have an exam coming up really soon........isn't 60mg = to 1grain? O.k. let me run this by you; what is 0.3grams converted to ______ grains?? and how did you convert it?

Thank you; thank you; thank you........that's my point too; but I guess they make you know it just in case you should ever encounter it....PLUS it's on our math test and believe it or not the instructor said there's still some of these type questions...

I have to admit I myself agree to this policy as well (no long or acrylic nails)....but then again I'm just a nursing student.....that's also our schools policy.

Now I'm beginning to think I'm seeing things (scary) hahahahaha too much nursing school here......I could've swore I saw a website for conversions of metrics; oh well, must've been dreaming or something (not enough sleep here lately).......later and ...
