They told us that for nursing school then it was all middle school level ratio and proportion (admittedly with multiple ratio steps like when you’ve ratioed the right volume of the dose but then you need to convert that to the gtt of your drip kit). The only real equations needed were three (maybe I’m forgetting one) that you could just memorize for the week then forget again until next semester. Two were °F to °C / °C to °F with one ratio and a constant each. The other one was BSA with two variables but you don’t have to solve for one or the other they’re both just measurements you get from the patient and plug in.

I run into less and less F these days, thank god. Worst conversion factor ever.
