Nursing maths - medication math made easy! 

Dear TecmathI want you to know how much I appreciate these videos. All my life I've struggled with mathematics at the most basic level. Every teacher I had was too fast for me to process what was going on, and they always made 'concept jump's without explaining how on earth they got there.. In your video here you have the humility and grace to explain things methodically and slowly. It may sound weird but I am touched by your efforts, and extremely grateful. Thanks ever so much for making this hateful stuff understandable to me!

Starting nursing school in a month and am required to basically teach myself this medical math, this is definitely a huge help thank you so much!

You sir, just helped me pass my nursing math exam. Thank you !

Wow I'm so glad I found this video, I definitely struggle with the most basic of basic maths and you explain in detail thank you

I am in 2nd year RN school in US. I have to say that your videos on MedMath are Wicked Awesome and have been very helpful for review! Thank you so much for your contribution to nursing education. SR

Thanks!! Have always struggled in mathematics and was about to cancel my entry test for enrolled nursing due to my lack of knowledge for maths... but after watching your videos and practicing with my own made up questions I feel super confident! Thanks again -future nurse

Because of YOU i passed my first clinical calculations exam with an A! I did not understand how the math tutor was trying to teach me and I started to panic until I came across your videos. You made it so easy to understand. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

dear tecmath, because of you I passed pharm and I can help people as a nurse. thank you from the bottom of my heart

You are an excellent teacher. Like the previous comment, many maths teachers go too fast and don't explain why some steps happen. You simplify things when many are unable. Thanks

I'm taking a pharmacy tech class and you explain this better than my instructor. Thanks a lot for making it easier to understand.

I'm very much pleased the way you discuss my hated part which is calculations. But because of this video tutorial I'm more confident to do a hundred fold of it in my duty. Thank you!

I watched this video minutes before my first class on my phone .. and as my profesor was teaching this .. I almost threw her the phone .. this is so much easier ..

Tomorrow I begin Pharmacology and this really helped me feel more prepared for tomorrow. Thank you so much for providing such easy to understand and high quality videos!

Each dose is 5ml. There is 60ml in the bottle. Therefore there are 60/5 doses in the bottle = 12 doses. A dose is given every 8 hours. Therefore the medicine will last 12 x 8 = 96 hours. This is 4 days. Hope this helps.

Thank you so much for this easy to understand explanation. I've always struggled with math and it's been a mayor pain in my posterior, but this has really helped me. Thank you

This is so helpful, how can I thank you. God bless you Sir!!!! Thank you so much. I asked my teacher how to calculate a drug problem and she could not show me. You have saved my life, this is my first semester in nursing school for my RN. Again, thank you so much.

Thank you! I was actually coming out of my math classes DUMBER. So refreshing finding somebody who can simplify and explain what is actually necessary!

I wish i have discovered you when i was in nursing school. I hate math and my professor in math is just awful. So when i had pharmacology i struggle a lot when it comes to computing drugs especially conversions. Ive only watch this video ones and im already learning a lot. You made everything in math make sense. Thank you

You are really amazing. Great. I had problem with drug calculation and I have gone through a number of videos but couldn't understand. Finally, I got your video and now calculation, I mean conversion of different units has become quite okay for me. Thanks for your wonderful explanation.

Thank you for explaining this I failed 2 classes because I didn't have the right teaching. God bless you

I start my nursing course and this is helping more than any of the books I bought! Thank you sooo much!!

Very helpful and insightful!! Covers the basics and is great if you’re having a hard time with conversions and figuring out how to setup the equations! Gives an amazing formula and I highly recommend

Thank-you for this video, I'm in my 2nd year of the bachelor of Nursing and have been having such difficulty with my maths! I have failed 3 of my medication calculations assessments this year because no-one has any time for me so it has caused me much distress. Thank-you, truly your video has helped me!

Sir you explain it to me very clear listening over and over your lecture Ived learn a lot of conversations , formula . Thank you again you are good Teacher 👍

Hi Mister Tecmath, Wanted to tell you Thank you! I use this video and the IV math video every semester for my nursing classes as a refresher. We have to get a minimum of 9 right out of 10 questions, and we only have 2 tries. If we can't pass the math competency in the beginning of the semester, we can't move forward as a student nurse (I know, a bit harsh and sad!). I have 2 more classes and I wanted to express my gratitude for this video and the other videos. It's simple, easy and GREAT!

Thank you so much for explaining the calculations! I have always been bad at maths but I absolutely love this now!!!! I think this is going to be my favourite unit! I have to wait for semester 2 to do this though. So excited for it!!!!

20mg/kg means for a mass of 72.2kg, 14440mg is required (i.e. 20mg/kg x 72.2kg). The stock supplied is 0.9g/ml. Note because this units is in GRAMS per ml, we need to the 14400mg worked out earlier also into grams, so therefore the stock required is 14400mg = 14.4g Use the formula, 14.4g divided by 0.9g/ml = 16g required. The 12 hour part appears to be irrelevant. If (and only if) the stock was in a g/ml/day this'd change the answer slightly. I'm sticking with 16g required. Hope this helps.

Thanks. You video made feel understand the nursing maths and hurray!!! I passed my test.

you taught this better than anyone else on youtube. It has been explained in too many different ways. I understand all that has been taught but you made it easy. less steps. thanks

Thank you for helping me feel smart today ! I can do this .

You have helped ease my worries for nursing math. Your videos are extremly helpful and easy to understand. Thank you

This was a big help in refreshing my dosage calulations for a test coming up.

I don't think I've ever felt compelled to write a youtube comment before, until now. Your videos are incredible, thank you thank you THANK YOU!

DUDE!!!! YOU ARE A GENIUS. A FREAKEN GENIUS I AM GOING TO BECOME A VET ASSISTANT AND DOSAGE CALCULATIONS ARE A MUST. YOU JUST HELPED ME OUT W/O ME GOING ALL THE WAY TO COLLEGE AND HAVING THEM EXPLAIN THIS TO ME. YOU ROCK!!!!!

Thank you for creating this - it helped tremendously! You made this easy to follow and understand. I'm sorry some people find your accent bothersome - I find your voice and accent soothing (and I'm from the States).

TecMath, Your videos are life changing for me! I'm in medical school and the math that their teaching me is really hard and not explained well. I honestly felt like dropping. But your videos have given me so much confidence. I have a dosage calculations final due tomorrow that must be 100% to pass and thanks to you I'm less afraid to take it. Thank you for everything! Megan J

you are absolutely amazing! I refer my friends to your channel and especially this video. helped me a lot through college!

thank you so much. I actually went to school to get a pharmacy tech. then I thought it was very difficult the math. it's been a few year now... you really make it easier for me to understand. I struggle with math!!! will definitely be watching your videos:)

Im an LVN going to RN school and there vids are helping me bone up on the little clinical math tests they always give us! Thanks!

Absolutely brilliant

i',m just starting basic drugs in medic school. and I was getting so upset. I suck at math in general. But you made it 100% understandable.. and I wanted to say thank you!

No - I teach calculations classes to Div 2 nurses. It was for these students I made these videos. Please excuse any non math errors I make. And comment!

I appreciate this because even though I was passing class with the help of my classmates I'm extremely grateful because for the life of me I couldn't get it not saying i have it down pack now but I UNDERSTAND thank you

thank you for the video, I really need it for my nursing studies.

😁 I can not thank you enough! I was dreading the drug calculation exam as I thought this would be impossible to pick up. But after just watching this first video, I know that after watching a few more then I should be able to pick it up. Cant thank you enough! Amazing 👐🙂

Thank you so much for making these calculations easy to follow and understand by using a simple formula. I may just pass my exam!

Nice, smooth explanation. Only covers the most basic types of calc, with very easy in-your-head numbers.... Hopefully i can find the next one in the series, because i bet it is more helpful!

Thank you so much, l was struggling but after watching your videos, l feel a lot better.

Dear Techmath, million thanks to you sir!

Thank you! Practicing these for my medical school interview.

Thank you so much! I'm taking pharmacy online. Really helped to see it worked out.

I normally remember it as ‘NHS’ so you do Need divided by Have and then multiple by the Stock

This video is so useful. I understand the concept better.

This is fantastic! Love MR BS! Thank-you!!

I'm a nursing assistant here in Canada, and I am familiar with the prerequisites for Registered Nursing Degree, and I'm always skeptical about whether or not I would really need to be familiar with grade 11/12 algebra in order to understand the academic foundations of the program.

THANK YOU!!!!! Your videos are such a BIG help. I was about to pull out all of my hair!

U ROCK!!!!!!!! U ARE VERY CLEAR AND THOROUGH... YOUR AWESOME!!

At 11.10, the question about diazepam in ampoules...just to be clear, as the ampoules come in 2mL and the patient needs 1mL, in practice do you only give the contents of half an ampoule? I thought the narrator was going to clarify that part, as there are going to be lots of situations where you what you need to give doesn't correspond to how the medication comes.

Love it very simple and understandable very excellent

New subbie here! You've explained succinctly!

Super helpful videos. Thank you! I'm on my way to passing my med math exam!

You make it so simple. Thanks

This made things so much easier! Thank you so much!!

Thank you! I learned better with your video than my book. Do you have one for the IV?

Thank you for all your help
