Michelle says, “I’m preparing to apply for nursing school and am really worried about passing dosage calculations. I signed up for Straight A Nursing Boot Camp and the scenarios for the Dosage Calculations module are HILARIOUS!!! They’re not dry and overwhelming like all the other practice problems I’ve seen. I’m now weirdly excited to learn more about dimensional analysis and for the first time, it has occurred to me that it might be possible to master this concept instead of just white-knuckling through it. Thank you, Nurse Mo!”
