You're so welcome!
Omg why is this so easy to understand! I’m so glad I found your page!!!!
We’re so happy to have you!! Welcome to our little community.
Thanks Cathy and I’m loving your pharmacology cards
You are welcome! So happy you love the cards. Good luck with studying!!
Thank you Cathy!!!!!
Very welcome!
I just started my pharmacology class and this is helping me soo much
Happy to hear. It is my pleasure. 😊
Thank you, so much! I'm starting my LVN prerequisites Monday and this tutorial has made me feel so much better.
So happy to hear!
I like doing these lol it’s fun. Reminds me of stoichiometry from organic chem
Oh my goodness , I really have a problem. With calculations . Thank you so much for your help ❤️
Happy to help!😊
This made it so much simpler. Thank you. Going to website now.
Glad it was helpful!
I’m a stay at home mom planing to go back to school to become an rn .. this was very interesting to know. I’m terrible at math… But the way you broke it down I can understand it better
im crying because I have been having trouble all day looking for the formula. this women always seems to help me no other nursing tutor on RUclips is as good as she. she doesn't have a strong accent or a dirty white board :))))
Very helpful. Thank you !
You're welcome!
Please do as many different calculations required in nursing school, maybe tutorial on medication labels and which one to calculate, some bottles have different information. Thank you so much
Thank you so much!
You're welcome!😊
You are truly God sent! Thank you SO much for helping me out through this journey!!!
You are so welcome!
My professor taught this in class and nobody understood her since she was rushing and spewing formulas and numbers everywhere on our online class. Thank you so much!!
My pleasure!
@taehyung's neighbor in daegu -- Were your dosage exams straight forward like in this video or was there confusing word problems included?
Thank you 😊
You're welcome 😊
Very good video. Will come back to watch it again😊
Great! Thank you so much.
I’ve never studied nuc med a day in my life yet but I sure hope I can do this lol
This is so cool. You are very good in this video, ma’am. I got a c in this class but I can easily understand what you were doing. I can even get a B or A in the class next time. The course was a dosage calculations before being in the program. So, I am bit sad and wonder if I should apply to university or just community college.
So happy my video helped you! I will be making more too, so be sure to subscribe! I think both paths you are considering could work fine... hang in there and don’t give up! ❤️
Don't underestimate yourself. Every student's ability increases with good instructors. Go where you want to go and you can do anything you set your mind to. Sometimes free online teachers are a lot better than class instructors so you can utilize both. Just know that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to. Nothing is impossible. Community college is cheaper so it's not a bad idea to do undergrad work there then move onto Uni but just ask around and find what's best for you. Ask successful people that you respect and they can give you good advice :)
thank you so much!! this is so helpful
I'm so glad! Thank you for watching!
Do you have other videos where you explaining exactly what numbers to put where and why?
Is there step by step to figure out by yourself ?
Loved this ❤
Thanks!
so helpful!! thank you so much
You're so welcome!
Im so happy im 14 and I have sucessfully done it
I would like to thank the lady in the video for helping me understand the concept of the problem, and learning how to do it, as a new CNA the teacher in the classroom was not helpful, but I have to say that I actually understood the assignment, and I was right on point with everything.
Thank You
You are so welcome! So glad the video was helpful.
I love Level Up RN❤
So happy to help!
Well q8h = 3 times a day. Just multiply 0.5 heparin x 3 = 1.5mls
Thank you for your helpful videos 😁
You are so welcome!
This reminds me of mole mass being converted to grams like shown in chemistry 11
Yes really same my comment i want write like u its very simple it make difficult
Hi Nurse Cathy is there a way to verify a dosage calc I had a student from school tell me that theres a way to verify it and work back to check and make sure its right?
Hi Cathy! I love your videos! Thank you for all your help!! I was able to pass my Summer Pharmacology class with a 100! A+, I used your pharmacology cards and videos! Where can I obtain these dosage calculation practice problems from your website? I would love more practice but I can't find them.
Hi Crystal. CONGRATULATIONS! 🎉 They are under resources, but here is a link that will take you there: www.leveluprn.com/blogs/dosage-calculation. 🙂
At crystal were can I find the cards
wow. how did you study pharmacology?
Question. Forgive my ignorance, I am still taking my prereqs but have a required dosage class. Anyway, for the third problem second question I also got 1.5mL but I multiplied 0.5mL by 3. Should I not do that? If someone can explain please feel free. Thank you!
In the uk we’d just convert the prescription to mg. Then we say what you want / what you’ve got x what it’s in. Or WIG for short. Very similar
youre amazing but first one, way easier....
0.4g convert to mg
400mg, just moving the decimal place 3 places to the right. 1g=1000mg. so 0.4g= 400mg
each pill is 200mg
desired 400mg
200mg x2 is 400mg
two pills!
_cackles like sesame street count_ ah...ah....ahhhhhh
I understood yours way better , thank you
Yes thats how I learned the way she is doing it is way more longer and confusing to students first taking course
It is not easy you the best teacher
Thank you so much!
Nice mam thanking you
Most welcome 😊
Thats awesome, but the last problem I would do differently in regards to total mL in a day. If 8(hours) goes into 24(hours), 3 times, could we just multiply 0.5 mL x 3 to get 1.5 mL? That worked better for me. I don’t know if it was a reason to do it this way though.
You can do it whatever way you feel comfortable with, as long as it gets you to the correct answer. My math has to be simplified otherwise I get confused lol
This how I did it too in my head without even writing it down and it seems like every nursing school or teacher does it this long drawn out way … too many steps too much room for error
It means a lot for me
😊Happy to hear!
on the hesi would a decial be 0.5 or .5
Hello! thank you so much for teaching more simple this exercise, But I do have a question, once you divided 5,000 by 10,000 is not 1? not 0.5? or why is 0.5? I will really appreciate your answer
5,000/10,000 = 0.5
5,000 is 1/2 of 10,000
This is basic division
Hello I’m currently taking pharmacology and I’m struggling with rounding is it best to round durning the conversions or only rounding at the end?
Rounding at the end is best unless you are instructed otherwise!
0.5mL 8 hours
1.5mL 24 hours
mL and hours are 3x ;)
Tell us about bsn lecture
2nd
0.5g = 500mg ÷2 =250mg
so, 5mL would get x2 = 10mL
unless im wrong!
i find this easier
We have the same technique.
WAY EASIER.
Are these type of problems considered nonparental dosage calculations?
Conversion questions: 1/2 fluid ounce= ----mL
300mg = mg -----
7mcg= ----mg
O.25gm=-------mg
40gm=-------mg
250mL=------liter
I am having problem solving these
Hi.Nurse Cathy. You make it make sense. I am starting to understand it. Smh
Thank you!!!😊
For the nurses here...I’m curious if during real life scenarios and under stress, do you guys solve these calculations mentally or are you pulling out your phone to get your dosing ? Thanks 👍
We have calculators in the medication room if needed
Thank you
Of course!🙂
i have a question. So why in the "whats order" 8hours isnt put to use? why its not 0.4 over 8?
It's basically asking how many capsules to take every 8 hours to get the 0.4g which is the 2 -200mg capsules
What I get confused on is when I am supposed to divide or multiply? I thought if it gets crossed out you don’t do anything with that #.
I have a question that will sound crazy. Is the nursing math different in the hospital setting than in school?
Not a crazy question! Very little math is required in the hospital setting, as dosing (# tablets, mL required) is typically automatically calculated…
Hello my name is Ella and I’m studying to be a pharmacy technician. I’m pulling hair here on this problem. Need help 😳
Order: tetracycline 500 mg qid * 5 d; then 500 mg bid * 5 d; then 500 mg daily * 5 d for acne
How many capsules are needed per dose ?
What is the total number of capsules that will be given over the first 5 days ?
What is the total number of capsules that will be given over days 6 through 10?
What is the total number of capsules that will be given over the last 5 days ?
What is the total number of capsules necessary to fill the prescription?
What is the total dosage per day in the first 5 days (g)?
What is the total dosage per day for days 6 to 10(g)?
What is the total dosage per day for the last 5 days (mg)?
Is it true that while you are in nursing school you are unable to use a calculator? Also when you take the Nclex exam no calculator? I am currently taking my first pharmacology class and no calculator are allowed.
Hi there! Although I cannot speak to the policies and procedures at each individual school, you are provided an on-screen calculator for the NCLEX.
@@LevelUpRN omg I have not been able to sleep or eat for two weeks stressing this piece. I am really working extra hard but this piece had me sick. Thank you so much for answering me.

Hi cathy. Trying to get this answer. I got 550ml total fluid for 6hrs? Here’s the question.
Ordered 1000ml over 2hrs then give 100ml/hr over 12 hrs what is the total fluid in 6hrs? I am confused.
Thank you cathy.
Hi Vicki! So for the first 2 hours the patient would get 1,000ml (per the order). Then for the next 4 hours, the patient would get 400ml (since the IV rate would be 100ml/hr as ordered). So for the FIRST six hours, the patient would get 1,400ml of fluid.
Your website does not have there problem ? All I see is the advertisement for the cards
Here is the link: www.leveluprn.com/pages/dosage-calculation
It’s on the Resource page (accessible from the main menu).
How is there not a massive rock on that hand.🔥🔥🔥
.... I did all that math in my head. Is dosage calculating really this simple? I was so scared 😅
Ma'am 5000 units are in 1 ml in TDS 3ml should be given or 15k international units
Can anyone clear my concept
Now I'm confused 🤔
Convert ... (D/H)*V=A
Why the multiplication moving decimals is so much easier and quicker
For me decimals is very difficult. I fail my exam last year now I start to watch you tube because nobody at my home who can teach me. I am trying to learn from RUclips today I started. I hope I will be able to learn decimals.
Easy way is to convert gm. To mg.
Do you offer a beginning from the ground up video/explanation? This is beyond confusing to me. I have the problem, not you. The presentation is clear and professional. I just don't begin to get. Thanks.
Here is a link to our resource page for dosage calculations: www.leveluprn.com/blogs/dosage-calculation. Hope this helps!😊
on the 3rd question for the first part of the answer I got 5ml and for the 2nd part I got 15ml for 24hrs
do you think it is important to say zero point not just point. ?
Yes, this prevents medication errors.
So this is why they tes your math at the teas
Appreciate you watching! We have a dosage calculations workbook launching soon. www.leveluprn.com
But 5000 divide 10000 is 5 ml what am I doing wrong
I like the way you teach but I can't read the screen.
Ms.I like the way you teach for some reasons I can't see the screen.
Thank you so much! If you are experiencing an issue we can certainly try to help. Please email support@leveluprn.com for further assistance
Your not showing all of the math
No voice, or is it just my devise?
I think it must be your device… audio is working fine.
@@LevelUpRN Thank you for replying. I'll view the video from my desktop.
I'm horrible at this
Hang in there! We have some online resources as well: www.leveluprn.com/blogs/dosage-calculation
Omg, she doesn't know anything, all video was looking at the answer near by. Converting g to mg soooooo long, it's much easier and faster. Literally she confuses people.
Nursing student breaking down. I appreciate youuuu 🫶🏻
Thank you so much!
