  2. help with drug calculation

    Friskee replied to Jsanders16's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think that is a distraction. I think it just means there is 1 ml of solution in a 2 mL vial. So you would do the D/H formula: 50mg/50mg X 1 ml= 1

    Friskee replied to goldenanchor's topic in General Students

    I average a good 15 hours a week study time. I originally tried to get in 40 hour week but that was impossible. Not only was I incredibly burned out, but with all the outside work it is not possible...

    Friskee replied to thewoods4's topic in General Students
