Item Description
Having a family member as a student nurse, i constantly hear of her daily placement traumas with drug calculations and how she has forgot the formulas to these calculations. After hearing this for a year i have come up with a solution to the problem.
There are three double sided cards, laminated ( you will all know about infection control ) and small enough too fit in your pocket amongst your notebooks and pieces of paper. They will also fit within an i.d badge or use the provided split ring to attach to however you please.
To reitarate the cards are laminated and easily wipeable keeping them intact however much you use them.

although the calculations are already done i would encourage people to do the calculation themselves as practice will make perfect. They are a good study tool!!.
