I just wanna say that you have really given me the confidence I need to move forward in becoming a nurse 👩🏾‍⚕️. I’ve been a cna for almost 13 years! For years I’ve doubted my self due to dosage calculation because math gives me anxiety but this really is so helpful! Thank you!!! 💛

[@MrCkevorkian]

Great method, you broke down the steps beautifully in a practical way to approach any problem. It's exactly what I needed. You are the only person that described as well where to put the conversions in the fraction set up. That threw me for a loop before this video!!!

[@carriekinnaman8672]

Oh my gosh!!!! I just had a light bulb turn on!!! I cannot thank you enough! I have been in tears because I was struggling so much and you just made it all make sense!!! I'm off to do a billion and one practice questions!!! THANK YOU!!! If you aren't already a nurse educator in your "day job", you should seriously consider it. Your instructions are clear, concise, and easy to understand. I will be following your channel all the way through nursing school!! ❤💋❤💋

[@NursingSOS]

Awww, thanks Carrie, you are too sweet! I'm so happy to hear the video helped!! Practice questions will also help a bunch! Good luck!! :)

[@patriciacoulter3587]

Thank you for this video. This is how I was taught dosage calculations. On my test I worked the problems backwards to see I came back to the Doctors order. I caught calculation mistakes that way.

[@NursingSOS]

Such a good way to do it! You're always so nice, Patricia Coulter. We're so happy you're here! Thanks for always being so supportive of everything we do here. :)

[@theresad803]

I absolutely needed to tell you...you have completely saved me from the terrors of math in nursing school! God Bless You!!! Its like a lightbulb went on and everything just clicked for me, I can literally do any nursing dosage problem with such ease. My math anxiety is gone! I cannot thank you enough!!

[@NursingSOS]

Ro ♡, you will do AMAZING things, and each day intentionally decide to do better, be stronger, and take action towards your goal! You've got this, friend! 😊 Thanks for being here!! Have a fantastic day!

[@MJ-gj6mj]

This was so helpful. There are plenty of instructors and videos out there that dive right in and gloss over the basics. Well if you don't remember the proper positioning or conversion to begin with, the whole problem is wasted. With so much information thrown at students, it's helpful to have something that just breaks it down to us :) Shout out to everyone who struggles in math but is still pushing on!

[@NursingSOS]

So happy to hear this video was helpful for you, M J! 😊 YAY! We LOVE hearing how our resources helped you feel more confident in your knowledge, especially when it comes to dose calc! Hope you have a fantastic day, M J. 😀

[@abbyengland3611]

Such a helpful video! I do have a question though. On the first problem you did (on the computer) you have 50mg of Rx, but in the nursing cart you had only 25mg of the Rx. The answer you ended up with was 2 tablets to equal out to 50mg, which of course is correct, however what is really throwing me if that the sentence was written, "The doctor ordered 50mg of Metprolol TWICE a day for hypertension." So... does that mean the patient really needs 100mg's of Rx a day? Would the answer than be 4 tablets?? I'm sorry, I just am confused. Thanks for any help you can offer!

[@NursingSOS]

Abby England, getting the hang of how these dose calc problems are written can be part of the challenge of the dose calc exam too, so you are not alone in feeling this way! Keep doing practice problems, the more you do the more confident you will become! The problem is asking for how many tablets you would give your patient right now, if they were asking for how many tablets you would give them per day it would have specified per day. Unless the question specifies per day, it should be solved per dose since that is what you would be giving your patient at one time. I hope that helps to clarify it for you, friend! You are doing better than you think you are, Keep the faith!

[@aeonluxee]

@@NursingSOS okay I had this exact question, but now I see its all about the wording.

[@NursingSOS]

Polin Vrachovska, yes exactly, all about the wording. Medication questions can be a challenge to figure out exactly what they are asking for. You CAN do this, keep practicing those practice problems!

Can you please make more of these? I've already memorized these problems 😭

[@NursingSOS]

So happy to hear this video was helpful for you, Brittany Griffin! We always want to provide nursing students with topics they want, so we will definitely that on the list for future videos. In the mean time, we actually have a whole dose calc course available for purchase you might find really helpful! You can check it out here: nursingschoolofsuccess.com/shop/ You will do GREAT! Thank you for being here, your support means the world to us. 😊

[@quincymasur8763]

new subscriber! love this video, thank you so much. Question--how do we check our work? can you give me an example of how to work backwards and confirm we have the correct answer once we are done calculating? thank you!

[@NursingSOS]

Great question!! To check your work you would go back through and do the problem again, making sure it all lined up correctly. Thank you for being here, Quincy Masur! 😊

[@haileym8073]

I have a short question regarding this type of material. My dosage calculation exam is upcoming in two weeks and I am practicing over my semester break. So, when completing dosage calculations involving parenteral medication administration, how do we know whether to round to the hundredths or tenths place if the question does not specify? I assumed if the answer is less than 1 mL we will automatically round to the hundredths place but my book is confusing me because some answers are in hundredths and some are in tenths place answers when less than 1-mL.

[@NursingSOS]

You're correct! If it's less than 1mL, you typically round to the hundredths place, if it's over 1mL, it's to the tenths place.

[@LifeWithEloisa]

Thank you for this video!! I do have a question about the acetaminophen for the toddler problem, these are the problems that give me all the anxiety. This may sound dumb and I’m so sorry. When you set up your problem in the “have” part you put the kg/lbs then mL/mg, would it have been wrong to flip them and instead go mL/mg then to kg/lbs? Hope this question made sense. Thank you 🙏

[@NursingSOS]

So happy to hear this video was helpful for you, Eloisa Olmos! 😊That isn't a dumb question! So as long as you can cross out your units then it will work and the order doesn't matter as much. But you would have to be able to cross out your units so that you are left with the units you "need" at the end. I hope that helps clarify it for you! 😀

[@Mirzapiya369]

Very very good ❤❤❤

[@NursingSOS]

So happy to hear this video was helpful for you, Piya Khan! 😊 We LOVE hearing how our resources helped you feel more confident in your knowledge! Hope you have a fantastic day, Piya Khan. 😀

[@crystalbrown4119]

Could you show some examples of dosage calculations with single min and max dosage and daily min and max dosage .

[@NursingSOS]

You would use the same calculations to get the min/max for dosages and the daily amount you would just do the additional step of adding however many doses there were supposed to be in a day (BID x2, TID x3) and for min/max calculate the range in between! Hope that helps! Thanks for being here, crystal brown!

[@user-hf3hy4jy5h]

Itd be nice if you have like a link to a quiz so we can do exercise more

[@NursingSOS]

Thanks for your feedback, friend! We'll add that to the list of things to add for future videos. :)

[@alpha_2_agonist]

Hi, firstly thank you so much for your contribution to nursing education. I had a question when one of the answers in the video was 1000. When an answer is 1000 or greater, shouldn't anything at 1000 or greater have a comma (ie, 1,000 instead of 1000) ? Thank you in advance :)

[@NursingSOS]

Great question, Sal Shino! The commas can get confused with decimal points, so check with your program what they prefer! Thank you for being here😊

[@saciidsadiiq5732]
