OMG Sarah; I am in my 2nd semester of the RN nursing program; I have almost wanted to cry; because I have not been able to figure out; how to calculate dosages. I began watching your video and used your worksheet and finally; hit me like a ton of bricks on my thick skull; this is so easy once you understand it! Thank you so much! God Bless you for all your help!

U are THE BEST! Was literally crying with frustration with these problems

@tarshaj6772 3 года назад

This is going to be a life saver for me. Starting nursing school this fall and I’m thinking DOSAGE & CALCULATION may be my weak spot until I ran across your videos. Starting early with the studying/review so I don’t look so lost in class. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH

@jerrylinrose 7 лет назад

I never understood conversions in high school but now I finally do! It is all making sense to me now.Thank you so much for taking your time to help people like me.

@RegisteredNurseRN 7 лет назад

Yay! I'm glad I could help! Thank you for watching my videos and for taking the time to leave this comment!

@sabriam6057 3 года назад

@mirlinetorchon9882 3 года назад

I just had an exam, if it wasn't for your video I would've fail, thank you.

@joannasamibuquing1306 4 года назад

I got it! Thanks to you nurse Sarah. I’ve been watching your videos since I was reviewing for local board exams in the Philippines, now I’m reviewing for employment and I’m still here! Nclex soon and of course nursing practice! God bless you!

@noahwinston3282 7 лет назад

I work in a hospital and never thought that I would ever need this because pharmacy is usually the ones doing all the work until one day I called the MD about a patients HR being elevated. The MD gave me a cardiac med to be administered IV and he gave an order with mg/kg. My mind went blank and I promised that I would never allow myself to be in this situation again. I am so happy that I came across your channel.

@MsGisabelle 4 года назад

Thank you so much Sarah! As a new nursing student I was definitely struggling with the word problems as I was never good at them. ♡

@npr386 6 лет назад

Watching as a paramedic student. Thanks for the videos; your explanations are spot on. As an engineer, I like seeing the actual conversions/units etc., definitely helps to understand the math. (No knock on my instructor, but he just tossed a formula on the board without much explanation).

@taliarose3166 4 года назад

My nursing class watched you in clinical today. Thank you for all your amazing videos! We're ready to ace our first exam ☺

@beckycray7812 7 лет назад

Your videos have been pivotal in my overcoming fear of math! I love all of your video series and keep them coming! God Bless you!

@Devy999 5 лет назад

I failed my first pharmacology test because of weight dosing but I actually understand it now. THANK YOU SO MUCH, GOD BLESS YOU

@flashief510 5 лет назад

I'm not trying to be dramatic, but I'm deployed and pushing through this online pharmacy tech program. I came to a SCREECHING halt because this math was giving me so many issues, along with the conversions....this and another video saved me! Thank you, and I'm sure these tears are from stress and birth control lol
