when it comes to nursing math i threw out my med calculations book because it did nothing but confuse me. want over have times delivery gives me every thing i need for example 324 mg of ASA is what i want. i have 162 mg pills 325/162*1 pill = 2 pills. another 10 mg morphine ordered i have 5 mg per 2 ml 10mg / 5 mg * 2 ml = 4 ml to give pt. when you get in to drip rates it is the same thing amount (want) over time in minutes (have) times Gtt factor so 100ml in 8 hrs through 10 gtt tubing (delivery) looks like this 8 hours times 60 minutes = 480 1000 over 480 * 10 = 20 gtt per min Hope this helps a little this will work every time and is always correct.

Ok here is the deal I am a new grad, graduated in December finally took boards, had interview at Lovelace and PHS with job offers from both, did the whole pros and cons thing still cannot decide where to work. Both are on the same type of unit. Lovelace is starting at 26.11 and PHS is 24.56 no mention of sign on or anything else can anyone help me with other benefits or ideas, or why to work for one or the other please help!!!
