Everyday Medical Calculations for Veterinary Nurses
(incl. tax)
When most Veterinary Nurses decide to enter the profession they probably don’t think they will be doing much maths, but it is an important skill we use as nurses on a daily basis. Vets will often rely on the nurses to calculate drug volumes to give to a patient, so it is imperative this is done correctly. This webinar will look at calculating drug dose rates including different units of measure and changing one unit to another. We will also look at how to calculate a CRI and concentration of the drugs added to the IV bag. There will be lots of examples and workings to help you along the way.
