  • An hour-long instructional video that breaks down how to convert dosages using Dimensional Analysis.
    Here is the link to the text for some of the problems that I went through in this video: www.straightanursingstudent.co...
    Here are a few sites to look through for a bit more practice:

    Let me start off saying Im horrible at math and when we had our instructor come in to teach this to us, I just didn't get it at all and got super frustrated and shut down! They literally only taught us this in 2.5 1 hour sessions! We took our dosage calculation test and I gave up and bombed it. Thank God we have 3 tries! They aren't teaching it to us anymore so I decided to take matters into my own hands and use old faithful youtube! I'm soooooooo glad i found this video! I don't know if its the way you taught it or broke it down but not only did i understand it but I mastered it!!!!! This is so important for nurses to know so we don't kill anyone lol! Thank you thank you thank you and I will be sharing with a whole cohort of frustrated student nurses!

      I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM IN NURSING SCHOOL. THEY JUST ASSUMED WE KNEW HOW TO DO IT, AND REALLY DIDN'T HAVE A TEACHER WHO KNEW HOW TO TEACH DOSE CALC. WE HAD THE WORST BOOK EVER AND I WAS BLESSED WITH A VIDEO FROM KAPLAN THAT CHANGED MY LIFE! I HOPE ALL IS WELL AND YOU ARE DONE WITH SCHOOL .

      I'm not great at math either, and trying to get in into nursing this fall 2020
      I'm freaking out completely but at the same time I'm excited.
      Any more tips I'll gladly appreciated
      P.S STAY SAFE EVERYONE ElSE AROUND THE WORLD 🙏🙏

    I struggled a lot with math dosage calculation but when i came across Allisha's unique way 0f teaching this dosage calculation and listened to it twice , in fact the fear of failing math calculation in Nclex RN Exam gone ! I now have the courage to tackle any calculation challenges that will come my way. Allisha you are God's sent. Bravo ! bravo !! bravo !!!

    This was awesome!!! I have been a Nurse a long time and am terrible at the Math problems. Others in the nursing field have taught me by their videos or in class and I never really understood the proper way to do it. I feel I finally understand how to do it due to the way you teach it. Thanks so much.

    I have been a nurse for almost 20 years and I have only been able to do nurse math by ratio and proportion. I have NEVER been able to correctly work a problem by using dimensional analysis! I am now a nurse educator, so I have to teach dimensional analysis. 15 minutes into your video, I got it. Thank you for making this process much easier!

  • @kassimoya2670

    I'm glad this video popped up. Math has no age. I'm also greatful that you are using real life scenarios where the units are all over the place. I'm practicing months ahead of time in an effort to build up my confidence for bothe classroom and the floor.
    I know rushing can cause med errors and a med error can cause a problem or death

    This video was so helpful! Thank you so much for sharing this lecture. I did exactly what you said to begin with the order but the question below did not work using this method. Can you explain why?
    A client with an acute myocardial infarction is admitted to the coronary care unit. The health care provider has ordered Heparin 25,000 units in 250 mL normal saline to infuse at a rate of 600 units/hour. The nurse should set the infusion pump to deliver how many milliliters in an hour?
    The answer is 6 however if I set it up starting with the order as opposed to the "supply" of 600units/hour it equals 0.17
