It looks like all pretty basic math, but when it comes to fractions decimals converting things etc, I just go OH CRAP. Won't be doing medications until probably next year, so i got to start practicing Bye RC

Peds is even more complicated coz you have to have a very precise dose and its measured according to weight unlike adults. But then again with paeds, you have to have 2 RNs there to even give out panadol apparently, coz of the bigger risk of side effects etc.
