    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!

      Dear Rina,
      Thanks for your kind words. I'm glad you found the video useful - that's precisely the reason I love teaching!

    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

  • @chubbap5704
    @chubbap5704 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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

    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.

  • @kyleflores3976

  • @tinerz02
    @tinerz02 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    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

  • @xxemokween92xx46
    @xxemokween92xx46 2 ปีที่แล้ว

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

  • @tecmath
    @tecmath  11 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    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.

  • @chancesc6415

    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!

  • @aimeew6930
    @aimeew6930 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

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

  • @piyathomas1506
    @piyathomas1506 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

    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 ..

  • @stephoreilly
    @stephoreilly 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    😁 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 👐🙂

  • @tecmath
    @tecmath  12 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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!

  • @kristinthomas5892
    @kristinthomas5892 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    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

  • @tecmath
    @tecmath  11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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.

    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!
