Your videos are very helpful. I went from failing my first med surg test to making the highest grade in the class. Thank you! 💕💕💕
YAY C. Smith! We are so glad this video helped you! Thank you for your support, it means the world to us. 😊
I was just notified that I got into my nursing program and then was notified that I have 5 days to learn and pass a dosage calculations test. These videos are very helpful, however I wish the instructor would not speed teach. Thank goodness CZcams has an option to slow down the playback speed.
Daphnie Farkas, remember, you will be an AMAZING nurse that God created only YOU to be, and you CAN do this! We are here to support you, don't give up %name%. There is ALWAYS a way! 😊
I found your website after searching for dosage calculation conversions. I'm a freshman nursing student and have already told my entire class about nursingsos. I have had at least 10 classmates tell me how much it has helped them with dosage calculation. THANK YOU! I will be following you throughout my nursing journey.
I have used her all through my LPN and now my RN. She has been so helpful and I get so many “light bulb” moments. By far my favorite. Good luck in school!

I have problem that asks for mEq, what does that even mean
Hello Nicole and Christina. Thank you you so very much for the med math video. I so much want to pass nursing school and math is not my friend right. I learn and understand under the teaching of Christiana so beautifully, is it possible that Christina can teach this exact same math? Nicole is explaining it, but I'm so sorry that I'm just not getting it and I don't want to just place numbers here or there I need to know why that number goes at a certain place.Thank you Nicole and I'm so sorry that I'm not understanding it.
@mppotts1400 you can always email us for more specific help! If you can show us your work that is even better so we can meet you where you are. Keep practicing, friend!
❤
I have been a trauma RN for 33 years, where were you when i was in nursing school!!!!!!
Thanks for letting us know you loved this video, angela kolakowski! I bet you are an outstanding nurse!!! Your support means the world to us.
okay i was trying this question....I got 1000mlx15gtt=15,000. How did you get 1500?
Which question were you working on, Karesha Smit? The first, second, or third example?
@@NursingSOS I am also confused Question #2 you said it would be on the top 1L x 1hr x1000ml x 15gtts = ( 1000x15 = 15,000) not 1500?
Omg I'm literally sitting up here half asleep trying to do these on my own but I'm like uh uh something ain't right...my answer came out to be 250 gtts/min...glad I know I wasn't the only one tripping
@@NursingSOS #3 your answer is wrong...1,000×15=15,000÷60=250gtts/min
For the problem with the answer 266.67 it says round to the nearest hundred. Im confused with the rounding on this answer
Victoria Trotta, you would round at the very end to the hundredths place, so 266.67. I hope that clarifies it for you!
👋🏽Christina can you help with "Half-life" the amount of time the body eliminates medication. I appreciate your commentary 👏🏾🙌🏽🤗😆
Liah Knows Best, you can email us at hello@nursingsos.com for any specific questions you have! We are here to help!
@@NursingSOS okay thank you so much! 😊
How do I do questions like this " At the start of your shift you notice there is 100mL left in the bag. How long do you have before you need to change the bag? Order: LR 85mL/hour." I am so confused on these for some reason please help lol
O D, if you could email us at hello@nursingsos.com we can help you more specifically!! You'll want to go through the 6 step process we go over!
Please tell the girl doing the practice problems to SLOW DOWN I'm trying to understand the problem, take notes, and fully grasp how she got her answer and she's moving onto the next problem.
@joyceflores4084, thanks so much for the feedback! pausing at each step and working through it can be super helpful too when you are working through it on your own along with the video! Have a fantastic day!
@@NursingSOSPausing the video and working through it is the obvious thing to do 😁 but in doing this I’ve caught mistakes she’s making because she’s going way too fast. Please take this as constructive criticism we are all here to do better and learn!
You clan slow the video itself
She's way too fast!!!
Thanks so much for the feedback, and thank you for being here, @sherriepeterson8082! 😊
