Accuracy in calculating dosages and solutions is a critical part of safe nursing. There is more than one measurement system involved in dosage calculation and its important that you know all of them.
This section will provide a variety of resources (books, websites, tools and tutors) to assist the calculation of dosages and solution rates.
Beyond our resources, the Academic Success Centre - located within the Library - offers one-on-one tutoring and drop-in workshops/help desks to assist students in dosage calculations and other Health Sciences related topics. For more information check out the Library's Academic Success website.
