Let's see...endless pushback from management with no support. Very critical patients with astronomical nurse to patient ratios. Nursing is more government reimbursement forms and "customer service" so needless to say I despise nursing.

I've done some investigation into different organizations for certifications but none of them seem legit. Does anyone have a certificate from a organization and if so how was the ease of getting certified?

I was looking at IV therapy

An individual weighing 92.7 kg is taking VFEND I.V. for injection for Invasive Aspergillosis. The loading dose is 6 mg/kg q12h for the first 24 hrs. Each manitence dose is 4 mg/kg q12h. What is the patients daily IV dosage?

I did 92.7 kg x 6 mg and got 556.2. Then I did 24 / 12= 2. Then did 556.2 / 2= 278.1 . Then did 92.7 kg x 4 mg=370.8. Then 370.8 / 2= 185.4. then added that to 278.1 and got 463.5 . The book gives an answer of 756 mg/day.

The question is "What would the daily IV dosage be for the individual weighing 92.7 kg"
