Dosage calculations, IV drip rates, and nursing math — handled by experts
Can You Help With MyLab Nursing?
Yes — specifically the math. We handle dosage calculations, IV flow rates, unit conversions, dilution problems, and nursing statistics. We don’t do clinical decision-making cases or NCLEX reasoning questions — that requires nursing judgment, not math skills. But if your MyLab Nursing struggle is the calculations? That’s exactly what we specialize in.
Sound Familiar?
- “My program requires 90% or higher on dosage calc exams — one more fail and I’m out.”
- “I got the right answer but MyLab marked it wrong because of rounding.”
- “I haven’t done dimensional analysis since high school chemistry.”
- “The weight-based pediatric problems completely destroy me.”
- “I’m great with patients but terrible with numbers — and I can’t afford to fail again.”
If any of this sounds like you, you’re in the right place. One failed exam shouldn’t end your nursing career.

What Is MyLab Nursing?
MyLab Nursing is Pearson’s digital learning platform for nursing students. It’s used alongside textbooks like Nursing: A Concept-Based Approach to Learning and other Pearson nursing titles.
The platform includes:
- Dynamic Study Modules — Adaptive quizzes that adjust to your performance
- Clinical Decision-Making Cases — Patient scenarios requiring nursing judgment
- NCLEX-Style Practice Questions — Prep for the Next Generation NCLEX-RN exam
- Dosage Calculation Modules — Math-focused drug calculation practice
- Learning Paths — Pre-tests, content review, and post-tests organized by topic
MyLab Nursing is designed to help students become “floor-ready nurses” — but for many students, the math components become a major obstacle before they ever get to the clinical content.
Textbooks We Support
MyLab Nursing is paired with several Pearson textbooks. We help with the math components of all of them:
Nursing: A Concept-Based Approach to Learning
The 3-volume series (Volumes I, II, III) that’s the #1 curriculum choice for concept-based nursing programs. We handle all dosage calculation content.
Medical Dosage Calculations: A Dimensional Analysis Approach
By Olsen, Giangrasso & Shrimpton. The definitive dosage calculation textbook with 1,000+ practice problems. This is our wheelhouse.
Dosage Calculations: A Multi-Method Approach
By Giangrasso & Shrimpton. Covers dimensional analysis, ratio-proportion, AND formula methods side by side. We know all three.
Clinical Nursing Skills (Volume III)
Part of the Concept-Based series. We help with the math portions of medication administration skills — calculations, not clinical procedures.

Why Nursing Math Is So Hard
Nursing math isn’t advanced calculus — but it trips up students constantly. Here’s why:
Zero Margin for Error
A math mistake in nursing isn’t a lost point — it’s a potentially lethal dose. This pressure makes every calculation high-stakes.
Dimensional Analysis Overload
Converting mg to mcg to mL to drops per minute requires chaining multiple conversions — one wrong step and the whole answer is wrong.
Rusty Algebra Skills
Many nursing students haven’t touched ratios and proportions since high school. Now they need them daily.
Time Pressure
MyLab Nursing assignments are often timed. Calculating under pressure leads to careless errors.
Multiple Formulas to Memorize
IV drip rates, weight-based dosing, concentration calculations — each has its own formula and setup.
Professors Assume You Know It
Nursing instructors focus on clinical content and assume the math is review. It often isn’t.
MyLab’s Unforgiving Formatting
Got the right answer but wrong format? MyLab marks it wrong. Rounding errors, decimal placement, and unit formatting cause students to lose points on correct math.
90-100% or You’re Out
Most nursing programs require near-perfect scores on dosage calc exams. Fail once, maybe twice — then you lose your seat in the program. The stakes are brutal.
The math itself is often middle-school level — fractions, decimals, ratios. But when combined with unfamiliar medical contexts, strict formatting requirements, and “fail this = fail the semester” pressure, it becomes overwhelming. Research shows weight-based pediatric calculations have accuracy rates below 3% among students. That’s not because nursing students are bad at math — it’s because the system sets them up to struggle.
The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) requires dosage calculation competency for licensure. The Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) sets standards for medication safety that nursing programs must meet. These aren’t arbitrary requirements — patient safety depends on accurate calculations. But that doesn’t make it any easier when you’re staring at a MyLab quiz at midnight.
What We Help With
We specialize in the quantitative side of MyLab Nursing. If it involves numbers, formulas, and calculations, we can handle it:
Dosage Calculations
Oral medications, injections, tablets, and liquid doses. We set up and solve using dimensional analysis or ratio-proportion methods.
IV Flow Rate Calculations
mL/hr, gtt/min, infusion time, and IV push rates. We know the formulas and how to apply them correctly.
Unit Conversions
mg to g, mcg to mg, mL to L, pounds to kg, Fahrenheit to Celsius — all the metric and household conversions.
Weight-Based Dosing
Pediatric doses, mg/kg calculations, and safe dose range verification.
Dilution & Concentration
Reconstitution problems, concentration calculations, and solution preparation math.
Nursing Statistics
If your nursing program includes a statistics or research methods course, we handle that too. See our Statistics help.
Sample Problem Types
Here are examples of the types of nursing math problems we solve daily. These show the setup — exactly what trips students up:
Oral Dosage Calculation
“Order: Amoxicillin 500 mg PO. Available: Amoxicillin 250 mg/5 mL. How many mL will you administer?”
Setup: (500 mg) × (5 mL / 250 mg) = ? mL
IV Drip Rate Calculation
“Order: 1000 mL NS over 8 hours. Drop factor: 15 gtt/mL. Calculate gtt/min.”
Setup: (1000 mL / 8 hr) × (1 hr / 60 min) × (15 gtt / 1 mL) = ? gtt/min
Weight-Based Dosing (Pediatric)
“Child weighs 44 lbs. Order: Acetaminophen 15 mg/kg. Available: 160 mg/5 mL. How many mL?”
Setup: Convert lbs → kg, then (weight in kg) × (15 mg/kg) = total mg needed, then convert to mL
IV Flow Rate (mL/hr)
“Order: Heparin 1200 units/hr. Available: Heparin 25,000 units in 500 mL D5W. Calculate mL/hr.”
Setup: (1200 units/hr) × (500 mL / 25,000 units) = ? mL/hr
If you’re staring at problems like these wondering where to start — that’s exactly what we help with. We set up the dimensional analysis, show every conversion step, and deliver the answer.
What We Don’t Help With
We’re math experts, not nurses. There are parts of MyLab Nursing we don’t handle because they require clinical judgment — not calculation skills:
We Don’t Handle:
- Clinical decision-making case studies
- NCLEX-style reasoning/judgment questions (non-math)
- Patient care scenario analysis
- Care plan development
- Pharmacology concepts (drug interactions, side effects, mechanisms)
- Nursing diagnoses and interventions
This isn’t a limitation we’re embarrassed about — it’s an ethical line. Clinical nursing content requires actual nursing knowledge. Getting that wrong has real consequences for patients. We stick to what we’re genuinely expert at: the math.
If you need help with clinical content, look for a nursing tutor or resources from Khan Academy’s Health & Medicine section or nursing-specific tutoring services.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you help with MyLab Nursing assignments?
Yes, but with a specific focus. We specialize in the quantitative/math portions of MyLab Nursing: dosage calculations, IV drip rates, unit conversions, dilution problems, and nursing statistics. We do not handle clinical decision-making cases or NCLEX-style reasoning questions.
What nursing math topics do you cover?
We cover dosage calculations, IV flow rate calculations, drug ratio and proportion problems, unit conversions (mg to g, mL to L), dilution and concentration problems, pediatric and weight-based dosing, and nursing statistics for research courses.
Do you help with NCLEX prep questions?
We only help with NCLEX math questions (dosage calculations). We do not help with clinical judgment questions, patient care scenarios, or other NCLEX content that requires nursing reasoning rather than math skills.
Why is nursing math so hard?
Nursing math combines dimensional analysis, unit conversions, ratios, and proportions — all under time pressure with zero room for error. A miscalculation in dosage can harm patients, so nursing programs are rigorous about math competency. Many students struggle because they haven’t used these math skills since high school.
Can you complete my entire MyLab Nursing course?
We can complete the math-based modules and assignments in your MyLab Nursing course. For clinical reasoning modules and case studies, you’ll need to complete those yourself or work with a nursing tutor who specializes in clinical content.
How fast can you complete nursing math assignments?
Most dosage calculation assignments are completed within 24-48 hours. Rush delivery is available for urgent deadlines. Contact us with your specific assignment details for an accurate timeline.
