    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to PancakeSaturdays's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a little weirded out by OP saying she is a therapist and this is research for a video series (curious if she plans to charge money for it); nevertheless, any post asking about what's rough on...

    I automatically did dosage calc in a way that boils down to algebraic, but nobody in my program was able to teach a method besides DA. DA just feels like a dozen extra steps to me. Not everyone learns...
