How To Do Medication Dosage Calculations (Basics)

[@miriamrivera8158]

WOW...Absolutely loved your method of teaching. I am a visual learner, not many people truly understand the issues that come with visual learner. We process information in 3 stages: we hear it, now we have to repeat it to our selves so we can visualize to what we can refer to, so we can truly understand it. Example, what normally would take a person to read and get it, it would take us double the time. I have a masters degree in Forensic Psychology so it is not to say I or others like me won't succeed, but teachers like you makes it so much easier. THANK YOU

[@RNKid]

Thank you so much for the kind words! To aid in learning a little more I am making a website with written explanations and practice questions to aid in learning. I am glad I could help!

[@liltouchofklass8135]

I’m visual too in NURSing school it’s tough😩

[@FlomoFit]

So true same here !! 🙌🏾

[@aletiahamilton7686]

That is so true and well said. I learn the very same why and I always have to explain why I’m slower than everyone in class.

[@bunniezzz777]

It’s no wonder I have to go over and over and OVER a certain sentence, to digest and fully grasp it! 😂

[@zhue3641]

Throw my whole instructor away, the way you explained it was so much easier

I’ve been watching a few people doing these calculations and let me tell you, my brain exploded a few times. This was the easiest explanation I have seen. Thank you sir🙏🏼

[@magenmonty6461]

Im actually crying because you made this so much easier thank you ! If everyone was this nice explaining things I would not have anxiety i swear. If you have time will you do this again but more complicated problems ?

[@jadabeard1868]

I am an old nurse. I recently applied for a travel job, and they had several test questions. Thanks for this refresher !

[@marialeabornales4203]

nursing student here!! thank you for this video. online lecture is hard but the way u explained it was so much easier!

[@Ash_star_stable]

Omg I just started my 1st semester of RN and you made my intro to pharmacology so much easier thank you!!

[@RNKid]

Good luck!!

[@Ash_star_stable]

RN Kid thank you 😊

[@ddwilliams82]

I just came across this video! I'll be starting clinicals on Monday. Did you successfully complete the program?

[@anderseckstrand7033]

You are a damn good teacher. I’m not a nursing student and I suck at math, but because of how you broke this down, I can confidently say that I can perform dosage calculations now. Even in the event of a potential unit conversion. Do 100 of these practice questions and you’ll be a pro! 👌🙏

[@goharpowers5612]

Really I just spent a week struggling with this and now I'm getting ever question right, you are the best, thank you!

[@RNKid]

You are welcome! I think whats important in learning is to take everything back to the basics and that's what I try to do.

[@CerealKilla98]

THANK YOU! I am in term one of my nursing school and just started medication admin, and they kind of refuse to teach us or its very fast paced and I wasn't understanding. Found your video and now I know how to do it! This was well needed certainly during these times where students are taking the place of instructors!

[@beverlyramsahai8503]

I can’t believe what you just did. You are blessed to teach. Never have something been so easy to understand for me concerning no’s calculations. If. I had you when I was studying my life would have been so easier. You truly have a God given talent to teach. Thank you so much I’m definitely 💯 committed to your channel

[@ahziahbranch5282]

OH MY GOD!!! I HAVE WATCHED JUST ABOUT ALL THE VIDEOS ON KZbin ON CONVERSION. THIS VIDEO HAS BEEN VERY HELPFUL. THANK YOU! SO MUCH FOR SIMPLE AND EASY👍 KEEP DOING A GREAT JOB

I really like how you simplify things it makes it so much easier

[@ulviyyagarayeva4548]

Great. Thanks a lot for perfect explaining. Yesterday I had calculation class on pharmacy assistant class and this math was really difficult and I was little frustrated. I started to watch the videos about Pharmacy math, those videos confused my brain more. Then I saw your video and it is an amazing video to understand Pharmacy math well. Thank you very much.

[@OnVacayShan]

Wow I just found your channel. I just finished pharm tech classes and I struggled with the math. The way our teacher taught us was so confusing if she just did it this way everyone would’ve been able to understand it!! Thank you for this. I’m refreshing to get my certification.

[@loveispatientloveneverfail3652]

I did my nursing two years ago . Your teaching make it easy for me when I took pharmacology in my nursing. I pass my NCLEX with my first trying 77 questions 09/30/21. I’m a nurse sine then working for Providence Health service. You’re an amazing teacher . Thank you so much

I thank you so much. I’m in my senior year of highschool planning on going into nursing but I’ve never been good at school, ESPECIALLY math. I gave up on math in like 6th grade because English has always been my specialty. So dosage calc was intimidating. Before I started this video I was frustrated because I tried both Simple Nursing and Nurse Sarah and I was still confused. After this video I’m confident I’ll understand

thanks your great my problem was that I was not paying attention to the concentration on hand.

Thanks for your explanation on medical calculations. It is appreciated.

question 2a had my head spinning. I kept trying to figure out how [0.4x5] could equal 125mg. I goofed. [0.4x5] equals 2 -- MILLILITERS that is. PHEW. Then I divided [125mg/5mL], to get the 25milliGRAMS. [2mLx25mG] does indeed equal 50mg [hope my duh moment stays here, and doesn't follow me to the test!]. Watching your video a second and third time REALLY helped me get it!!! THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!! My test is in three hours-wish me luck!
