Resources for medication calculations in nursing.

January 14 University Learning Centre Peer Mentor and Pharmacy student Alex C. has created a question sheet on dilutions: vial dilutions. Please note that there is a typo in question 3. It says, "... One hour ago he got 3mg. Right now, he says that the 1 mg helped a little ..." the 3 mg mentioned should actually be 1 mg.

January 24 Alex C. gave a review of medication calculations in this morning's lecture.
Alex C.'s lecture notes (not filled in) and practice questions have been posted at the Pharmacy section of Prof. Heaslip's virtual hospital website: http://heaslip.info/Pharmacy.

In case you haven't seen this, the College of Nursing has a "virtual lab" site with various resources, including some links for medication calculations: College of Nursing virtual lab. You'll be prompted for your NSID and password to access the site.

February 15 A survey has been created to query students as to the best times to hold help sessions. Completing the survey will help us in finding session times that accommodate the greatest number of students. med calculations help sessions survey
