BEST general conversion chart…

to see the chart go HERE… It was throwing off my formatting so I moved it to a separate page.  But it is great for general chemistry, volume/mass conversions, and basic math conversions.  You can copy and past it as an image to a word document, print it and take it with you.  Just right click the chart, hit the control key and the c key, and then open a document hit control and v. 

 

Good luck!!

Websites that explain Dimensional Analysis

This is the last in a series to help students with math skills. 

Dimensional Analysis tutorials [keep in mind that dimensional analysis is usually done in chemistry and physics and nursing has only adapted it for use in medication calculation problems]:

Websites for General Math Help

 

Here is the first in a series of posts that give great websites for math help.  These are great for any student high school, college or nursing students.  As most nursing students know your ability to score high on math tests for nurses (calculations, dosage, and IV calculations) can determine whether or not you can become an RN.  I have heard so many horror stories about students accepted into the nursing program who have all A’s.  But they get less then 90% on a test covering dosage calculation and they are kicked out of the program. So this series is to give students a place to refresh their skills before in nursing school and faced with these challenges.
