Hi Prof. D! I just want to thank you so much for helping not only me, but everyone else here! I’m going into my junior year of a BSN program, and when i discovered your videos my 2nd semester of sophomore year, I was acing my exams AND competencies! You make this information not only simple to understand, but you relieve so much stress and make me more confident in my ability :) You are the best!

[@NexusNursing]

Thank you!!!🌼🌼🌼

[@apostlelshelly9900]

Hi, I realized, you stopped at number 5, however, I was looking at number 6 for calculation. This is what I came up with125mL/h. But I went back and recalculated and came up with 2ml/h after multiplying 2x60minutes=120 and dividing 250 by 120 to get 2mL/h? I remember you stating the only time you have to do it in minutes is when they give it in hours and that means you have to multiply it by 60 minutes. Number 6 didn't give a drip factor it only mention an infusion pump. Just checking myself here. Thank you John 14:6

Prof D, you are amazing Thank you for putting your time to help us. I'm in Med Surge, and it's been crazy we only have 3 exams for 4 systems in each exam. Over 600 slides , I feel so defeat I had never felt like this or maybe is not for me. I will have to withdraw, and it is like I'm always going backward.😔😌😵‍💫😭 Thank you for what you do and for helping so many of us.

Thanks Profesor for those calculations Professor can u please tell me where I can find your priority video u did it outside in Miami on your porch . I just don’t see it thank u💕

[@ezebilofaith138]

Prof D... thank you so much for the video,I know this is coming in really late lol. Please,how do I solve the number ten,drop factor wasn't given

[@madisoncarter3718]

Probably a dumb question, but do LPNs need to know this for NCLEX-PN. It’s been 4 years since I last took it and failed. I haven’t seen a flow rate questions since I started studying again. Thanks so much!

[@NexusNursing]

What state are you resting in, it’s very much possible to get a dosage & calc Question but most likely would not be drop factor.

[@emilymercado6602]

how do you figure out mL/hr if you are not give the drop factor (gtt/min) in the problem?

[@NexusNursing]

Easy, divide the hour into the mL. So if you have to give 500mL in 2 hours you just divide the 2 into the 500=250mL/hr

[@emilymercado6602]

@@NexusNursing thank you Professor , I'm sorry I get confused sometimes with dosage calc
