Welcome
Hello!!! Welcome to NURN006 Advanced Dosage for Paramedics
This course is designed to instruct nursing students in methods of calculating medication dosages efficiently and with accuracy. This is an online course. A review of basic math and units of measure, as well as introduction to the tools necessary for dosage calculation will be covered. Some students will need to spend more time with a review of mathematics prior to learning specific dosage formulas and content related to dosage calculations. Students who have had experience with dosage calculations may move quickly through the modules. Emphasis of the course is on safe and accurate calculation of adult and pediatric dosage. In order to register for this course you must be accepted into the nursing program.
A suggested calendar is provided, but you may learn at your own pace. Several days before the scheduled testing dates, I will provide a practice exam which is formatted exactly like the 20 question dosage exams. You can take this test as many times as you want.
All NURN 006 exams are proctored in a computer lab and are on-line. You will be expected to come to campus to take exams. You are also welcome to visit me on campus during my face to face office hours, which are by appointment, or email me at any time. I will check my email twice per day and will reply within 24 hours.
