Due to enthusiastic requests for this study program, I am making it available to you before it is actually completed.  The live links in the Lesson Index point to portions that are reasonably complete, or at least contain enough material to be useful.

I hope this helps some of you with your studies and planning for fall classes.

The Dosage Drills feature is finished, by the way.

Dosage Drill. This is the go-to resource for checking and perfecting your ability to solve realistic dosage problems.

      

This course is currently under initial development. Feel free to check in on the progress and, more importantly, offer your suggestions by using the Contact Us link.

Our primary objective is to provide nurses, nursing students and instructors with a thorough, self-contained, and reliable source of information. And we hope to present the topic as a form of rational, reasonable thinking (as opposed portraying dosage calculations as a crazy bunch of recipe-like formulas that happen "work" without having to make any real sense).

The Lesson Index is still "fluid," to say the least. Remember, you are looking at a project that is under active development.

Oh ...there is a secondary goal that is just a fun thing we like to do around Free-Ed.Net: We expect to see this course at the top of the Google search by the end this year (2009).
