I finally understand how to do dimensional analysis thank you for your tutorial. I’ve watched so many and I still didn’t get it until I watched yours.

[@NursingSOS]

I'm so happy that it clicked for you!! That's exactly what I was going for! 🤗💜

[@GabrielleEvans-Higgins]

I’ve been watching every video and I’m part of the nursingSOS community. I know we have a med math we have to get a 97 or better. I did what you recommended and start while I’m on break. I start my program next month.

Can you do some problems involving reconstituting a powder?

[@andy5390]

What is a math comp exam? We are supposed to take one at some point in our 1st semester of nursing school.

[@NursingSOS]

I'm assuming that it's this! The dose calc exam (or med math exam). Nursing schools like to call it different things. But it all just means that you'll have an exam that covers dosage calculations.

Hi, so with tablets and capsules you don't round your answer?

[@Divinewarrior777]

Love it ❤

[@NursingSOS]

I'm so glad you loved it!! Thanks for being here! 🤗

Questions: What if the test answers were 2.5 tabs and 1 tab. What would the answer be?

[@NursingSOS]

They are both correct, but if it were me I would choose the one that gives less tablets to the pt

[@marianb2530]

I am confused with what to do with the 200 tablets in the problem??

[@Lovemayjoy]

The 200 is the one who have in your stock, thats what you gonna use to find out how much u giving ur patient

[@FrankFranks-rj7le]

SO my program includes dose calc in EVERY exam, some more some less. I was told there is no dose calc total exam....(unsure if that's 100% legit) BUT. Is it common for there to not be a total dose calc? I'm unsure I'd pass a total dose calc exam... trying to study just in case, I often round wrong or am close to the correct answer or misread it. In real life, you don't hardly ever have to do this (from what I've done in nursing work, I mean SOMETIMES but usually the pharmacy sends you the dose pre prepared and it's no sweat or doing math isn't as strenuous because no one is grading you and the pyxis or ekit give you the dose or eetc etc talking more.) I am kind of worried about dose calc. I CAN do it, it just takes me too long and we don't always have a white board or scrap paper

[@NursingSOS]

Are you in an ATI or HESI program? I would say that most programs DO have a full dose calc test, but it's not unheard of that some don't. But I would definitely say that's less common.

[@FrankFranks-rj7le]

an ATI one. I hope 😅 there isn't. We have about 10% of each exam or less dose calc or a few questions

[@FrankFranks-rj7le]
