Dosage calculations – the words alone can send shivers down nursing students' spines. But what if there was a way to transform this dreaded subject into something approachable, even enjoyable? Enter ABlessed RN, a veteran nurse with 15 years of experience who's revolutionizing how nursing students approach medication math with her groundbreaking "Puzzle Piece Method."
Drawing from her diverse nursing background spanning long-term care, school nursing, medical-surgical units, and specialized hospital departments, ABlessed RN shares why Med-Surg became her "heart" despite common misconceptions that it's less complex than critical care. Her perspective reveals the intricate knowledge required to care for fragile patients whose conditions can deteriorate rapidly, highlighting the crucial role Med-Surg nurses play in healthcare.
The conversation takes a fascinating turn when ABlessed RN explains her journey from math-savvy pharmacy technician to nursing educator. Witnessing countless students struggle with dosage calculations led her to develop an ingenious approach that strips away the intimidation factor. Rather than overwhelming students with complex formulas, her Puzzle Piece Method transforms calculations into visual puzzles where each element represents a piece fitting perfectly into the solution.
The urgency of mastering dosage calculations becomes clear as ABlessed RN emphasizes their life-or-death importance beyond nursing school. "You are the last source of safety," she reminds listeners, describing scenarios where electronic systems fail and nurses must rely on their mathematical skills. This passionate defense of calculation proficiency serves as a wake-up call in an era where many professionals increasingly rely on technology rather than fundamental knowledge.
Blessed RN's pink, spiral-bound workbook – featuring over 300 practice problems and step-by-step guidance – represents her commitment to making dosage calculations accessible to everyone. But beyond the educational content, listeners glimpse the heart behind her work: a ministry-minded approach where she prays for students and celebrates their transformations from math-phobic learners to confident professionals.
