Hi everyone,
I need help from the best!!! you Guys!!!! I now taking medical dosage, and I truly understand the importance of getting the dosage correct. I need your help! Is there any website, book or program that will help me to master medical dosage?
Yes there are books available. Check on line nursing math made easy, etc. or contact a nursing school and inquire about books.
Are you in a program now? Or are you working in a hospital,If so, they should be able to help via tutor and books.
I'm taking medical dosage which is a prerequisite for the nursing program and i'm so lost. i'm wondering if i chose the right field. my class only meets one a week, and i have only been to one class. maybe i'm just pushing myself too hard.
Let your instructor know you are having trouble and they should be able to help you. I'm sure others are as well. Don't give up.
Hello, there are several great websites online. Look this one over to start:
Medication Math for the Nursing Student:"A shocking number of patients die every year in United States hospitals as the result of medication errors, and many more are harmed. One widely cited estimate (Institute of Medicine, 2000) places the toll at 44,000 to 98,000 deaths, making death by medication "misadventure" greater than all highway accidents, breast cancer, or AIDS. If this estimate is in the ballpark, then nurses (and patients) beware: Medication errors are the forth to sixth leading cause of death in America."
