Whoever is watching this, I saw this before nursing school and am now viewing it while in nursing school. GREAT VIDEO. Save to your favorites if your going into the nursing program!

I watched this video last night before my dosage exam today. Just found out a minute ago that I passed. Thanks for this video.

Second semester RN student here... out of High School for 10 years and this is Heaven sent. IDK what it is about when the instructors stand in front of the class working the problems out on the white board ( and the info completely not sticking to your brain) vs. watching Nurse Bass on Youtube (and then you think your a genius) . Maybe because I can pause and rewind him and not them.... anyway THANK YOU !!!

There are several ways to get the answer. The way I found it to be easy is this:
1) what is the question asking? = how many "Tablet"****
So I'll write down "xTab"
2) what's your supply? = 500mg per tab
So I'll write xTab= 1tab/500mg
3) what's the doctors orders? = 1500mg
So I'll then write xTab=1tab/500mg x(times) 1500mg/1
Remember the denominator can't be left empty and since we are not looking for anything else we'll just add 1.
4) You'll cross out the Mg and now you calculate 1500/500 = 3 tabs

It'll make more sense if you actually write it out on paper. But this is how I do my drug calculations (not saying the way you do it is wrong) but I thought I'd share.

I am not in Nursing school yet, and how you're breaking it down makes it so easy to do. Keep it up! 👍

You explain it so well. Im in my first semester in Lpn school and about to start dosage calculations. I remember my friends that were in nursing school talk about this subject in the past and how stressed they were. I'm trying to stay ahead of my studies and as soon as my instructor mentioned dosage calculations I started to work dosage cal.

Nurse Bass, you literally saved my life. I LOVE YOU, and I cannot thank you enough!!!

[carolecantatore]

I actually found Nurse Bass, by far, the easiest to follow, his teaching technique is extremely helpful and was easierto apply. I have not been using calculations as a Nurse for 18 years and my refresher course was somewhat confusing for me regarding these calculations. Thank you Nurse Bass for the breakdown you provided.

I have to score a 100 on the med math exam in order to graduate from my LPN program. Thank goodness I found these videos.

[Dalester]

Thank you so much for making this videos man. My PHARM class is online, not by choice, and I'm the type of learner that needs to watch something be done so that I can work the math along with someone else doing it at the same time. You just helped me SO MUCH!!!

[pamm]

Awesome video! As an "older" nursing student, getting ready to graduate, I appreciated the camera angle and your overall lack of movement. It made the entire thing very easy to watch. Thank you!

[nicholedavis]

Thanks for the video. I'm taking a dosage calculation test tomorrow for the RN program. I can only miss 1 out of 20 questions. I really feel ready after viewing your video. Thanks a Billion.

[alfredmartinez]

Thanks Nurse Bass, just started Rn School and math is my major weakness, this is a great will be watching more of you videos, Thanks

[gabriellefaith]

Thank you for helping me pass my nurse math test on my first attempt! I feel confident in what and how I learned from you. I've referred all my friends to this video!!

[shanitamchaney]

I have shared this video with new nursing students & I use it to brush up on my DSG & Cal when starting a new job.

[joicebernardesjacinto]

I gratuated 12 years ago. We do not do calculation in real life as fortunately ( or not ) the IV pump does all the calculation BUT I have a NCLEX exam to do and this video saved my life. THANK YOU. It is really important to learn how to read the question and understand it. The calculation in itself it is not the big deal. Great Video.

[georgeleverette]

Thanks Bass this is great. I have orientation on Thurs and everyone's making me believe that med calculations are impossible. You've made so much sense of these examples that I was able to work ahead on some of them. Thanks alot!!!

[nicholasguerrero]

I'm not even a nursing student nor intend to be, but curious how hard nursing math is. This guy made it easy!

[sonjachism]

Thanks so much Nurse Bass! You should definitely be a professor, the students will absolutely love you.

[anneran]

Thanks for making this, I am only in grade 10, though I know I want to go to nursing school. I am not a strong math student but this made sense, thank-you!
