   Some people are better at math, and some people are better at writing and expressing themselves coherently.

2. Medmath

   Tharem replied to KEYZ75's topic in Student Assist

   Keyz your answers are mostly correct except in no. 2, we're taught that 1tsp. = 5mL so the answer would be 2tsp. (i'm assuming they asked for the answer in teaspoons, that wasn't shown in your work). We're also taught that 1grain = 60mg but that doe...

   Yes there is.

4. Looking for a good nursing school to get into? any advise?

   Tharem replied to 2bRN Care's topic in New York

   Are you sure that this applies to students already in the program? That doesn't sound right. At my school once you're in the program you're assured a seat in every class from that point on (as long as you pass). They do accept students every semester...

5. math test, everyone failed

   Tharem replied to margaretofcastello's topic in General Students

   The arithmetic is basic but the methodology isn't necessarily straight forward. It requires some teaching or at least learning from a medical dosages textbook to fully grasp the concepts.

   Really? So you may have to sit out a semester if you don't make the lottery for that class??

   I think all of the local community colleges are hard to get into. Your GPA is competitive so you have at least a chance of getting in. As far as it taking a long time, I don't quite understand what you mean. Unless you have a previous bachelors degre...

9. Should I go to the Dean?

   Tharem replied to 3perfectcats's topic in General Students

   It seems pretty clear to me that your good faith adherence to the 50min rule was used against you, particularly in light of the fact that the other groups were allowed to violate it without consequence and with considerable advantage. It seems to me ...

10. math test, everyone failed

    Tharem replied to margaretofcastello's topic in General Students

    I don't know. Different schools have different methods. At my school there's a dosage calc course that everyone has to take which pretty much prepares you for any type of calculation. You can take it either in the first clinical semester or you can t...

11. Help another Medmath please help

    Tharem replied to dobletruble's topic in Student Assist

    Your problem should also state what you're looking for. I assume it's mL/hr. Start by calculating how many mcg/min is ordered by multiplying 5mcg by 70.7kg, which equals 353.5mcg/min. Now convert that to mg/min since the drug concentration is stated ...

12. Help another Medmath please help

    Tharem replied to dobletruble's topic in Student Assist

    Well, you know she's receiving 60 drops per minute, and that each mL contains 20 drops, so each minute she is receiving 3mL. If there are 150mg of drug in each 1000mL of solution, then there are 6.67mg of drug in each mL of solution. So that would me...

13. Help with nursing math please

    Tharem replied to fishchick72's topic in General Students

    i don't think the age of the thread has anything to do with the accuracy or inaccuracy of the answers, but thanks for directing my attention to the new problem, because that's incorrect as well: 0.5/0.015 = 0.3/x = 0.5x = (0.3x0.015) = 0.5x = 0.0045...

14. Help with nursing math please

    Tharem replied to fishchick72's topic in General Students

    yes, 800mg is the dose desired, but that's not what the question asked. the question states:"a dose of 640 mg/100 ml d5w is being administered daily. for a client weighing 176 lbs, how many mg/kg/day is being administered?" since the client weighs 17...

15. Had to leave a nursing program will I get into another

    Tharem replied to BettyBluedalle's topic in New York

    They won't hold your place so you could take a year or so to work and save money? It just seems like it should be unnecessary to have to go through the whole process of trying to get into another school and losing the credit you've already earned. I ...
