Med Math Simplified: Dosing Math Tricks for Students, Nurses, and Paramedics
Product ID: 14093139
Med Math Simplified represents the hard lessons the author learned while becoming a paramedic and later a nurse. It uses the concepts of dimensional analysis with a good old common sense approach to learning the math and formulas needed to safely and correctly arrive at drug doses for your patients. This book was originally created as part of an online video course at MedMathSimplified.com where Jamie took viewers on a step-by-step tour of the problems and equations in the program. Many of his audience members wanted a resource they could take with them after the course to review and practice the skills learned in the video program. Thus the eBook and paperback book versions of the program were borne. Review: Great book, well written, I recommend it to students all the time. - As an ED Nurse I found this book very helpful in my everyday business of medication administration. Jamie really makes it easy to understand and writes in a way that sticks in your head. I have gone back to his equations in my head a million times while preparing medications. I believe every Nursing student or new Nurse should have a copy of this. Review: Makes med math easier! - I got this because I had been accepted into a nursing program and wanted to get a jump start on some skills. I found it really confusing at first. It wasn't until after we learned a bit in class that it all kicked in and I could understand what it was teaching, then it was really helpful. I think this may be best for someone who's struggling with learning Med Math or who wants to learn ways of making it easier in general, rather than a newbie who has never studied the subject at all.

It's a great little resource and has helped me tremendously so far
I bought this book to help me prepare for the NYS Critical Care EMT course coming up this August. It's a great little resource and has helped me tremendously so far. Like it's title, it is to the point and simple, all you need is a basic math background. I now feel confident in my dosage calculations, conversions and equivalents. Thanks!

Good book, kindle format has issues.
Kindle isn't great. The images of equations are too small to read. I got the digital format to read on the go without having another book to carry. It's all but unusable on a small screen meaning I still can't easily study on my commute. Other than that the book is great. Guess I'll have to buy the paperback as well.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS SCAM
First off, "preview" only shows couple pages of unrevealing par of the book. Second, once you pay for the book you will come to find out that there is actually nothing yo reveal. I can get the conversion rates straight from google for FREE. The author of this book typed nearly 50 pages of nothing. Complete waste of money.

This May be the Most Valuable Book in a Medical Professional's Library
I am great at writing but terrible at math. It was the hardest part of paramedic school. The only books out there made even simple math look like Greek. As this is a downloadable e-book, it is a quick reference on any electronic device. Thank you, Jamie Davis. You will make a lot of students and professionals very happy!

I am a paramedic student and I struggle with math ...
I am a paramedic student and I struggle with math so very badly. I've read this book so many times and the math is starting to make more and more sense. I'm slowly starting the calculation into my head now.

Great help
Very basic but helps a lot i. Determining the correct medication dosage. Informative with a lot of resources to take if you need more practice. Just continue practicing til you get it.

Med maths-rubbish.
Not what I expected and no help at all, a complete waste of money.
