How to GET DOSE CALC QUESTIONS RIGHT in Nursing School!

Go live.

You're live.

We're live.

We're live. Hello, everyone. Welcome to the nursing school show.

Oh, I didn't put a title in on Instagram.

Sorry, Instagram. I put a title here on YouTube. We are doing Dose Calc today. All things Doscalc, everyone. So gather around. Gather around, everyone. Story time. Dose Calc story time.

That's so Instagram.

Interesting.

Hi, Emmy. Instagram. We are talking about dosage calculations today because last week those everyone was telling us, dose calc, dose calc, dose calc. So, yeah, here we are.

Hello, happy evening to all. Or daytime, depending on where you're at. We found out last week that people are joining from all over the world.

Pretty amazing.

So, yes, go ahead and shoot down in the comments where you guys are joining us from.

Love it.

And what you guys are supposed to be doing right now, that would be good. Good morning. Good morning to you as well.

All right, I am kind of writing your little formula here for dosage calculations.

All right. Christina's having fun already.

I am having.

So for those that have not heard yet, we are talking about dose calcul dose calc dose calculations and how to get them right in nursing school. Christina's the nurse, so she'll be talking about it. I'm just going to be hanging out here with you and being confused along with you guys, so.

Oh, we're not gonna be.

We're not gonna be confused.

Hi, Levi. Hi, Cecilia. Oh, Massachusetts. All right.

Awesome. New Orleans.

Nice. Welcome.

Hello, everyone.

Ohana. Hello. Hi, Cynthia. Hi, Lysa.

So glad you waited until after the playoff game. I've been seeing reports about something called football and it being played. If you have not, we are not gathered. We do not. We do not do the sports.

We do not do the sports. Hi, Francesca. Hey, guys.

Congrats to all those that won.

Ashley.

Yes.

So did your team win?

Did you win?

Did you win? Yes, we always win, right?

Who's going to the Super Bowl?

Oh, yeah. Who is? Wait, when is there was the super bowl today?

No, the super bowl is not today.

Something like how much I know about games.

It's called the playoffs. Hello from Nova Scotia. Hello. All right, Joining from Dallas, Texas.

Okay. Everyone seems really excited for Dose Calc.

All right.

Everyone's saying, yay, let's do this.

Let's get going. So while we're getting started on Dose Calc, I put it in YouTube, but on Instagram too. While we are live, we also have a dose calc box that we're going to be using while going through this it is a box of goodies to add help you through dose calc, solving dose calc, practicing dose calc, etc. Etc. Etc. And so if you go to nursingsos.comshop you can go ahead and take a look at the dose calc box. While we are live, use code Sunday and it will be 10 off your entire purchase. So we also have a farm box that we talked about last week there.

Yeah, that's true. We got emails from students asking if they could still use the live code because it was just during the live.

Yep.

And so students who emailed us if you are watching because the codes that Matthew puts in, they're only good for while we are live. So. Hey, he will walk back to his.

My computer is right over there. Oh wait, hold on. Is it on yet? Hold on, let me turn on the code and then I will walk back slowly and turn it off after the live. Very slowly turning it on now. Then jump on it.

Oh my. So let me. I just, I briefly just kind of showed you. But these are. I'm not gonna grab the box, but. So the box is down there on the floor, but here's what's inside. So workbook, Whole workbook. Oh my. We've got tons of practice problems for you like IV, heparin, weight based, iv, po, more iv. All the things you can see.

It's pretty and it's blue.

It's pretty and it's blue. Let's see, feeding tubes, OB and labor and delivery, insulin, all those good things inside the dose calc workbook for you. So practice problems.

Yes. And I think one of the biggest pros about this workbook is at the very back are the answers and all the work to get through it.

Yes, all of the work.

How it is solved. That's what you call it, how it.

Is solved or like what the answer. It's an answer key. But it's like work shown.

Yes, it's work shown, answer key. So very exciting.

Yeah, very exciting. We teach dose calc in very differently than, well, anyone else. I've never seen anybody else teach it like I teach it. And I think that that's a real big mistake because how we teach it I think is the best. And I wish that more nursing schools would take this and teach it this way. I really do. So the dose calc workbook follows the steps of dose calc that we teach and it will guarantee that you get every single dose calc problem right on your exam or while you were at clinical. So when you go through the doscalc workbook. You've got all the practice problems in the front, so you can go through them, but also we walk you through the steps of them in the answer key, which Matthew was just saying. That's really the biggest thing. It's huge.

It's great. Annie is asking about Pitocin and Magadose calculation.

Yeah, they're in there. Yeah, they're in there.

They're in there somewhere.

Under the labor delivery.

Again, not a nurse. Sorry.

Yeah, that's okay. Annie, I'm so glad you brought this up. Pitocin. Oh, my. Okay, so here's the thing. Okay? I'm just. I'm gonna get on my soapbox real early.

Gonna jam. All right?

In this live video. Sorry.

Before you jam, how much does it cost? How much does it cost? Someone look it up. Nursingsos.com shop again, use code Sunday. And it's 10 off, so I know how much the percent off is.

10 off. Okay? So really, here's the thing. I. Okay, so huge tip for dose calc for you. Christina's gonna get on a soapbox. If you're new to our world and you don't know who I am, don't judge me for this. Just, you know, or just leave. That's fine. I'm gonna get on my soapbox here. Okay. Annie, I'm glad you brought this up. Pitocin is Pitocin, Heparin. There are so many different medications that you have to give in nursing school. And then as a nurse, depending on what specialty you're in, what floor you're working on, and what most nursing schools do to teach you dose calc is they teach formulas. They give you a whole list of formulas to memorize. And then you. When you get to your exam, you have to know what. You have to have the formulas memorized first of all. Then you have to figure out what formula to use. And then you have to figure out how does this question fit inside that formula that you're supposed to use to get the question right? So there's, like, a lot of. A lot of hoops to jump through with the formula method. And the thing is, is that, like, heparin and Pitocin and dose calc problems that involve multiple conversion factors that you have to know they do not work very nicely with a formula method, which is why we do not teach you formulas. We do. You will. Okay. If you are trying to memorize a bunch of formulas, it might work. When you are in, like, nursing 101, like, your first Fundamentals of Nursing class, when you're only giving, you know, very basic IV medication or PO medications or trying to figure out how many tablets to give. You know, when you first start nursing school, you have the very basic dose calc problems that you have to solve. But it will. The formula method will fail you as you continue and progress in your program, because like Annie said, you've got Pitocin, you've got, you know, more complex IV problems, you've got piggybacks, you've got, man, you've got heparin dosing, you've got like a bunch of conversions that you have to add in. It just does not work. The formulas will fall apart on you, and you do not want your formulas to fall apart on you during your exam.

So just.

That's my soapbox just to touch on this.

I mean, it's a general rule of thumb for nursing sos. And just the way that Christina teaches stuff is it is really more concept based and not memorization. And really, that's what formula doing dose calc in the formula method is, is memorize all these formulas and memorize when to put what, where, and all of this. But really, we want you to understand the concept behind it, the concepts of, okay, getting the correct dosage for this patient. And so we do it in a different method, the dimensional analysis method, which Christina's writing up.

I'm writing right now.

The board. Right.

This might be backwards for you.

It is backwards for them, but that is all right.

Dimensional analysis or the railroad track method. I can. Can I write that backwards?

I don't think so.

I don't think I can write that backwards. So. So you'll have to work with me here. Dimensional analysis, the railroad track method.

Okay, so this method is really about getting the concepts down, understanding how to set up your mathematical problems to get.

Those calc right every single time. You know the phrase.

Yes, I do.

All right, so here's what it looks like, my friends. Here's what it looks like. Sometimes I have problems with m. Yes, of course you do, Annie. Because this is the problem with formulas. I gotta tell you, it really bothers me when instructors are like, just use the formula in the same way that instructors are like, just read the text. It's the same thing. It's not helpful. It's not helpful.

Travis says it's right. So I think it's just flipping it for us so we can see ourselves better. I don't know for Instagram, but definitely on YouTube. Definitely. Hopefully, Travis, that you guys can read it. Okay, Instagram.

Can you read this? All Right. Hopefully, I'm sure. I mean, it's like. Okay, so here's. Here's the dimensional analysis braille retract method. Here's what she will do. You will put your conversions here. So whatever. Conversion, Whatever conversion. And then you will multiply across. See, I have to write here, multiply across the top, across the top, multiply across the bottom. And then divide those two numbers there and that will give you your answer. That's literally all you have to do. So I am not, during this video, just to be clear. I am not going to go through any practice problem with you because that would be too hard to write on my little whiteboard. But on YouTube, we've got tons of videos up on our YouTube channel on Dose Calc. So just go to YouTube and type in nursing sos dose calc, and you will find those there. So in this video, we're just going to go over the principles that you need to know for passing your dose calc exam. Okay? I'm getting them right every single time. And really the biggest one is to know how to set up dimensional analysis. Okay, how do you set up dimensional analysis and the railroad track method? Now, I. Do you remember the other day when we had paper towels down here and I was asking you why?

Yes.

Now do you know where they went?

Now we need them, don't we?

All right, I need one.

I'm gonna be right back.

He's gonna go get me a paper towel. Do you guys. Who was on that live like a couple days ago when we came down here and I was like, why are there paper towels in our video set? It was weird. And now I realize why, because I apparently need them. All right, all right.

We have paper towels. Did you mention that that is in.

Oh, yes, the whiteboard. I'm sorry. The whiteboard is in the dose.

I think technically it's a special bonus surprise.

Oh, well, might be.

I don't know.

And a pen. But we actually give you everything you need.

The whiteboard is included in the dose box with a marker that you get a whiteboard marker so that you guys can practice.

There you go. That's your secret surprise.

That is your secret surprise, which is also cool because when you actually take tests, a lot of times that's what you get.

Yep, you get a whiteboard and you get a whiteboard marker. We got this question actually a couple days ago, and that's because the nclex, your schools want to mimic the nclex.

Will you be saving this video? Yes. All our lives are saved. Just Pop on over to our YouTube channel also while you're at it, hit subscribe, hit the bell, so you do not miss any future lives. We are going to be talking more about other topics as well. And if you have any other questions, pop them down below. I'm catching questions as they go.

Can you believe we're almost to A hundred thousand YouTube subscribers?

Almost there. Help us get there, guys.

Help us get to a hundred thousand. Okay, so Instagram. I'm sorry, this is probably backwards for you, but YouTube, I'm hearing that it's okay. Is this like the right way for you on YouTube? Is that what's your Ariel?

Yes. Dimensional analysis is key. You'll get the answer right 100 of the time. Made 100 last week. Yes.

There you go, Ariel. Congratulations. So here's how you're gonna set up your dimensional analysis. Okay? The order goes first. So Instagram. This is first. I think it's backwards for you. Sorry about that. The order goes first. So whatever the doctor ordered. Yeah, right there. And then what do you need to end up with at the end? What units do you need to end up with? Actually, that is always your first step. You need to figure out what units you need at the end. So is it, you know, milligrams? Are you trying to do units for insulin? Are, you know, do you need kilograms for something? Do you need number of tablets? Like, what unit? I'm going to write unit here, just so there's no confusion. What unit do you need to, to end up with at the end of your dose calc problem? Okay, here's what a lot of nursing students will do. Sometimes when you are looking at a dose calc problem, there's a lot of information they're going to give you in that problem. Because nursing schools are set up in case scenario questions, right? When you get your, when you get your exam, it's all going to be like patient situations and case scenarios, right? So when you get that case scenario, there's going to be a lot of numbers in there. There's going to be a lot of information, and you need to dig through that question and figure out, okay, what are they asking me for? What are the units? What is the unit that I need to end up with at the end of solving this problem? Okay. So, so that is your first step is figuring out what unit you have to end up with. Or like, if you don't do that, then you're going to solve for the wrong thing. You're not going to get your unit correctly, your unit correct, and you might get the question wrong. So make sure that you always start with the end in mind.

Start with the end in mind.

Start with the end in mind and figure out what you need to end up with at the end. Okay, that's your first step. So unit there. And then what did the doctor order? Okay, what did the doctor prescriber order? You know, what is. What is that? You know, what did they order? And then what conversion factors? What steps are going to get you from the order to the need? Okay, what steps? What conversion factors and where? The flashcards.

I'll pop up the flashcards. So from the box, we have our dose calc flashcards that have all the.

All the must know, must know unit conversions.

Unit conversions, even including grains from grain.

Okay, Please raise your hand. Please raise your hand if you have had a nursing school exam test you on grains. Gr.

Let's see. Travis was saying, it is never used. There you go.

It is never used, really, in practice, but nursing schools love it anyway. So if you have been tested in grains before, like, literally, I remember the first time when I took my first dose calc exam and they tested us on grains, and I was like, what in the world? Who is this? What is this? Like, this was not anywhere. And so I am telling you right now, you need to know grains.

All right?

Ariel says, yes, they will test you on grains. Yes, they will, Annie. Sorry, but they will. So that's why you have to know the conversion factors for grains. It is the weirdest thing. I don't understand it, but what are you gonna do? I'm here to tell you that it's gonna happen eventually. So there's your conversions. So like we said, start. Start with the end in mind and figure out what you need to end up with at the end, what unit you need to end up with, and then you're going to go over here to order. So what did the doctor prescriber order then? What are your conversion factors? Now, your conversion factors might look like this. Like, you might have a ton of them. You might have a gazillion in order to get from here to here. Especially if you're doing, like, time, right? You're doing an IV and you have to go, like, drops per minute or whatever, and you have to do, like, you know, 60 minutes in one hour. And you have to do, like, time conversions. Like, you have to do all the things. Then it might take multiple conversions to get from one place to the next.

But that's a beauty about dimensional analysis, is you just line up all the conversions on your railroad track. And you just multiply, multiply across the.

Top, multiply across the bottom, and divide those two numbers. So that is the next step of solving the problem. So as long as you have it set up correctly, then it just makes it so, so easy. So literally the beauty of dimensional analysis is you are literally just plugging in numbers. As long as you know what unit you need to end up with, as long as you know that order, then you can figure out what conversions you need in the middle. If your units are in the right place, it just makes it so easy to see. All you have to do is multiply across the top, multiply across the bottom, and then once you get those two numbers, I'm going to put like X and Y here. That's a math. You divide between the two, and then that is your answer. It makes it so easy, friends. And you do not have to memorize 3000 formulas to do this.

All you need to know is your conversions.

All you need to know. All you need to have is the question. You need to know the setup. What do I need? What is the order? What conversions do I have? That's it. Then you just solve it. It makes it so easy. So this works for everything, like we said. I know a lot of you guys are just joining us. Hello, I'm Christina. I am a nurse. This is Matthew. He's not a nurse.

I'm here.

He's here for the fun of it. So if you're just joining us, we do not teach the formula method. You will never see me teach the formula method. I think it is not, how do I say this nicely? Not a good way to learn dose calc in nursing school. I think it will set you up for failure. Because when I see nursing students fail their dose calc problems, fail their dose calc exam, it's because they used formulas. Don't do it. Use dimensional analysis. Because you will get it right every single time. The issue with formulas is that you have to memorize gazillion of them and then you have to figure out which one to use for which problem. You need to kind of finagle it. That's a fun word. Finagle the question into the formula. And sometimes it doesn't even work. So that's confusing. I don't understand why nursing schools teach it this way. So that's why we have a bunch of videos on our YouTube channel all about dimensional analysis.

And Daisy. Yes. This works for IV formulas as well. It works for any kind of dose cow problem.

Yes. Okay, so IVs I'm gonna say especially IVs, because you just don't, you know, it just. Yes, Francesca. Yes. It really. You have to know, like, you know, what is the tubing calibrated for, right? You've got to know, like, what time are you solving for, like an IV pump? Are you solving for, you know, drops per, you know, mil? What are you solving for? You have to know what you're gonna end up with at the end. It's. It can be very confusing if you are trying to plug in all those numbers into a formula. Not going to happen. Cool. This also goes with like. Okay, I'm also want to mention pediatrics because Pediatrics again, you know, oh, man. Who is in. Who is in a pediatric class who has had to solve pediatric problems before where it's all weight based? And then you have to go back and you have to see is it a safe range for a pediatric population? All of this stuff. Who has taken pediatrics yet or is everyone kind of in like fundamentals or med surge right now?

Yeah, that's a good question. Oh, there you go, Annie.

Yeah. It's so confusing in peds. Like, these are the things that dimensional. This is. These are the reasons that dimensional analysis really just soars is because when you get to something like peds or like heparin or Pitocin. Who mentioned Pitocin? It was. Was it Annie earlier? Andy, did. Were you the one or was it Ariel? I forget. It was when Pitocin. Labor and delivery, when you get into ob, it just gets very, very confusing when you are trying to, you know, handle all these multiple conversion factors and fit them into a formula. It just. It will break. It just does not work that way. Pretty much everyone on Instagram is saying they're in fundamentals.

Fundamentals. Yeah.

Yep.

Farm and farm and fundamentals.

Yeah.

Yeah. So I just want to throw that out there. Now we are talking about dose calc right now. But if you do go to our shop, nursingsos.com shop, both our boxes are there farm box and dose calc box. And while we're live, it's 10 off your entire order. So you can also pick up the farm box if that will help you.

And use the code Sunday Code is Sunday. Sunday. S U N D A Y. We should have made it like four football or something. Hey, someone tell us when is the Super Bowl? When's the Super Bowl? Is it next weekend? Two weeks?

I don't know. Someone will win and someone will lose. And the commercials hopefully will be all right.

Will be on par February 13, maximum number of acetaminophen tablet problems always tripped me up. Yes. You know, anything that it's like safe range or, you know, all the, like, therapeutic dosing. Confusing. Right, so don't use formulas. Not fun. Not fun. So February 13th, that's in like two weeks.

Yeah.

So, you know, maybe we'll use a football related promo code that week. That sounds like a good idea. Okay, so talking about the dose calc.

Box, what's the difference between the two? The difference between formula and dimensional analysis method. Is that what you're talking about?

Oh, so. Oh, do cal and pharmacology.

Oh, got it, got it.

Yeah. So we have two boxes. Pharmacology is going to help you. Oh, do we have the farm box? We'll just show it. I just had it.

Oh, there it is.

Okay, he's gonna go get it. I lose everything. Okay, so the pharmacology box is going to walk you through how to learn medicine faster. Master in nursing school.

So pharmacology is yellow because. Yellow because.

Yellow. So we have over 120 pharmacology flashcards. Like. Oh, it's a whole flashcard deck for you to help you learn your meds. Hey, there you go. Oh, okay. So here's the thing. For like YouTube, I have to choose the medications that YouTube is not going to yell at me for. There's some medications that you can't really talk about on YouTube. Okay, so let's do. Oh, yeah, there you go. Last part. Oh, if I can hold it up. So here's a flashcard. Okay. It walks through all the things you need to know about your medications for nursing school. And we have a hundred and over 120 of them here. I don't know the exact number, but all the meds that you need to know for nursing school, boom. In this flashcard deck. And we give you all the key points you have to know. You know everything. It's all here. They're med cards filled out for you so you don't have to fill them out yourself.

So that's the farm.

That is the farm box. It also comes with other things, but, you know, the farm box is there to help you learn your meds faster in nursing school. Whereas the dose calc box is here to help you solve med math problems or dose calc problems. Okay, so that is the difference between the two. Does that make sense?

Shoshana? Shoshana. Yeah. What is the dimensional analysis? What is the dimensional thing you mentioned instead of using formulas? All right.

Oh, I like this. Okay, so Sashana, the issue with formulas that you may or may not know yet, actually, can you tell me, can everybody tell me? Post in the comments down below. Post in the comments where you are at in nursing school. Are you just starting nursing school? Are you in the middle of nursing school? Are you about to graduate nursing school? Tell me where you are in the comments right now. Go.

I'm assuming that most people have started their semester, but if they have not or have not taken their. Their dose calc test, because everyone, everyone will do that, right?

Yes. Have you taken yours yet? Two weeks of your program for most programs, yes. Yari mama bear, this answer right here is going to answer is my answer here is going to answer your question too. You asked, do you think the desired over have technique works best? That is the formula method. That is what I'm talking about with formulas. When, when you hear like formula method. When you hear desired over have. That is the formula method. They're the same thing. So I'm going to talk real quick about the difference between the formula method and dimensional analysis. Angela just started peeds. Perfect. Angela, this video is for you.

Not in nursing school yet, but taking prereqs. All right. Getting a jump on thing. That's.

Congratulations. Maternal med surge. Wow. Okay, so we have a lot of students who are in classes where you need to be using dimensional analysis and not the formula method. Okay. Okay. I hope that I've convinced everybody so far who has been here already, but let's jam on it again. So the formula method in nursing school is what you will mostly hear and be taught on. You'll hear about it and your nursing instructors will teach you on it. It's helpful until it's not. So when you are in fundamentals and solving for basic, you know, med math problems, basic dose calc problems where you.

One conversion.

Yeah, one conversion. Where you don't have multiple conversion factors, where you don't need to convert time like, you know, NIVs or anything like that. Where you don't have pitocin, where you don't have heparin, where you're not doing, you know, like thousands of units or something. You know, it gets crazy. When you progress in your nursing program, you are going to have more complex dose calc problems to solve for and the formula method will break. You. Will break, will break you both will break. When you get, you know, when you progress in your program and have to solve for this work, complex things, the formula method will fail you. That's what I meant.

Help.

Help. It will fail you so do not. I just really recommend that when you start nursing school, if you are in fundamentals right now, just learn dimensional analysis because it's going to carry you all the way through your program. You're not going to have to worry about, you know, it breaking during your exam and not being able to use formulas. So really, formulas do not work if you have multiple conversion factors you need to convert or if you know the problem is just too complex, you don't know what formula to use. That's really the inerrant problem of formulas is that there are so many different formulas to use for like Heparin or Pitocin or like the, the desired overhab, like you mentioned earlier on Instagram. It's just, it gets very confusing. You have to memorize all these formulas, you have to figure out which one to use for which question on your exam. You have to put everything in right. And then you might realize that, oh wait, that formula doesn't work and it's a different formula. And wait, you have to do multiple different formulas to get the right answer. And did you do it right? And no, just. We know we don't play that game here. So we teach dimensional analysis and it is a way, way simpler way of getting dose cow problems right. I genuinely just don't understand why they don't teach it this way. It's just basic math. It's. It's not even real math. It's like you just have to put the units in the right place and then multiply and divide. That's literally it. Like, I, to be honest, I don't really understand how it works because I am not like a math person. He could probably tell you more about that, like why the numbers work out this way way and how it works. I am not. My brain is not wired that way. So all I. All you have to do is make sure the units cross each other out. Multiply across the top, multiply across the bottom and divide. That's it. It makes it so easy. So dimensional analysis will work every time no matter what problem you are solving. Now make sure that if you want practice problems, obviously we have them inside the workbook, inside the dose calc box for you. Tons of practice problems, like we said earlier, heparin problems, insulin problems, IV problems, PO tablets, pediatrics, labor and delivery, all those things inside the dose box. And then we also have videos on our YouTube channel walking you through dose calc as well. So definitely check that out too if you want.

Dina just commented your dosage calc videos help me Pass Fundamentals. So there's actually a really, really good one that we posted a couple weeks ago all about Dose Calc, and actually goes through all of this. I'm the one that edits the video. So it actually wrote. I wrote out all the steps and where to put everything in detail. And Christina did a great job just walking through a problem. We haven't walked through a problem on this live because that would be a little messy. But definitely take a look at my.

Whiteboard here for you to see. That would be too much. So, yes, go to YouTube, type in nursing sos dose calc on YouTube and those videos will pull up. And then also, if you're a Nursing SOS member, who's a Nursing SOS member, I know several of you are. So go to your dashboard inside the Nursing SOS membership community, click on Dose Calc. We have a whole Dose Calc course there for you in order for you to, you know, get more members. You, as a member, you have access to even more practice problems. You have access to more Dose Calc videos where I walk you through step by step, all of these things. Actually, the membership community is really cool when it comes to doscalc because we have a separate section on each one of these things and it just makes it really, really easy for you. So if you are a Nursing SOS member, I know a lot of you are, so log into your dashboard, okay? If you need help with Dose Calc, log into your dashboard, watch the videos for the, for the types of problems that you're struggling with, and then do the practice problems that we have in there for you as well. And Nursing SOS members, you have access to our nursing team, to the nurses on our team. So if you have any questions about Dose Calc, about pharmacology, about fundamentals or whatever in nursing school, just submit a question via the tutor form that we have there for you inside the community. You know where it is, you're a nursing member, you probably know where it is. Just click on the tutor form, submit a question, and our nurses will get back to you.

Yeah, and definitely use that tutor form, especially for those Calc problems. If something is tripping you up, just walk through what you're doing, walk through as much, give as much details on your step by step process, and then our team will be able to look and find exactly where they can help you at. So I'll walk through it all. And that's how Tutor form works. So that's great too.

Yeah. D4. Christ. Do you do one on one tutoring. I used to inside the nursing houseless membership community back in the day. I used to do coaching, used to do tutoring and no, you know, as our membership community has grown to many, many, many, many, many hundreds of students, I am not no longer able to do one on one tutoring. Which is why we have a team of nurses that help with that. So inside our nursing SOS membership community, you have access to our nursing team. So you can submit a tutor form and then they will get back to you within 24 hours, Monday through Friday, answering your questions. So it's a, it's fantastic because what we hear oftentimes from nursing students is that they email their instructor, especially now that classes are online. We hear oftentimes that nursing students will email their instructor and then the next day they won't hear anything. Then the next day they won't hear anything and the next day and then, you know, it takes a while, they're not hearing anything from their instructor. That is not how we operate. So if you submit, if you're a nursing assistant member and you submit your tutor form, a nurse on our team will get back to you within 24 hours, often a lot sooner than that. So you don't have to wait to hear back from your instructor and get like some vague response about something. No. We are going to walk you through step by step, the answer to your question. We just make it super easy.

And if you guys are not members yet, you should be. So go ahead and go to nursing schoolofsuccess.com join and go ahead and join the waitlist so the next time it opens up you guys can jump on it and you won't miss out. Yes. So Travis nursingschoolofsuccess.com join to get on the wait list and then next time it opens up, you'll be the first to know. So definitely jump on that.

Yep. We always call it a wait list, but students always ask me, ask me like how many spots are there left or something. Like, there's no like cap on spots or anything. It's just, I don't know what else to call it.

We just want to make sure that we get you the information you need and that when it opens, you'll be the first to know.

Yes. So if you get on this wait list, if you get on that list, let's call it a vega, when you get on that list, I will email you. Went right when enrollment opens. So you're going to be the first to know when enrollment opens. So you're not going to miss it. You don't have to, like, check my Instagram stories every day. You don't have to, like, check on YouTube all the time. I will email you when it opens, so you will be the first to know. Yes. So that's how that works.

Did you go over all the six steps already?

Yes, we did.

Yeah.

Okay.

All right. So there are six steps in our dose calc process of dimensional analysis that really work well again, which we kind of walk with. Walk through everything is in the dose calc box.

So with the flashcards.

The flashcards.

There's also practice workbook.

Yeah, practice workbook, Yep. And a cool whiteboard.

Yeah.

Which is awesome.

Yeah. Okay, so the. I actually want to talk about this again because it is super. Oh, yeah. Titration and reconstitution. Come on. So good. So, yeah, so we've got got tons of practice problems in the workbook for you, but the best thing, like Matthew pointed out earlier, is in the back we have the answer key for you written out in the way that we teach. So we are going to walk you through how to get the answers via dimensional analysis, not formulas. So you will have a much, much better understanding of dose calc after, you know, after getting the box and going through all those practice problems. Please, please, please, please. This is from Just.

Just Julie.

Julie F. Please, please, please, please go over milligrams per kilogram per day versus divided doses test tomorrow. Oh, do I have. I do not have a. I'm sorry, I'm gonna have to list that out for a next video, but we can talk about it.

I can type that down.

Yeah, the baby.

But definitely if you need help with dimensional analysis, take a look at YouTube, our YouTube channel on those calc, like one of the latest ones really goes in depth about doing the dimensional analysis.

Yeah. Go to YouTube. Yeah. YouTube.com nursing sos or on our YouTube channel, you can type in dose calc. I think he's waking up.

Is he waking up?

Okay. Yeah. Okay. Sorry, guys. Christina's gotta run. Any last things that I need to say?

Okay. Yes. If you need more help with dose calc, go to our YouTube channel. Type in nursing SOS. Dose calc into YouTube or Google will work too. Sorry, you gotta go.

All right. He is crying. We have a little one that is in need, so I will wrap us all up again. The. The dose calc box is available right now@nursingsos.com shop. Use code Sunday and get 10 off your entire purchase. We also have the farm box that we talked about a little bit. That's also 10 off if you want to get that too. If you guys have any more questions, be sure to type them down below while we're going and going and going and gone. And I will capture those and ask or we'll answer them. On future lives, we are going live more often, so we want to answer all your questions and help you guys as much as possible. Let me go ahead and turn this off. There we go. All right. And if that is it, again, that code is only available while we are on live. So I'm wrapping this up right now and I will slowly walk over to my computer and shut that down. But hopefully you guys found this helpful. As far as dose calcs, if you have any more dose calc questions again, check out our YouTube channel. There's a lot of really good information there. Or write down any questions and then we'll probably circle back around this on another live as well. Go ahead and follow us on Instagram, by the way, so you know when our next live is.
