Appendix D: Critical Skills

DOSAGE CALCULATION – CRITICAL SKILL

Dosage calculation has been identified as a critical skill by the faculty. The Medication Administration course must be passed with a 78% before administering medications in the clinical area in Fundamentals of Nursing.

Successful completion of the Medication Administration course is necessary for continuation in both the Fundamentals of Nursing course and the ADN program. The student must pass this course in order to continue in the Associate Degree Nursing program. The student who is unsuccessful in the Medication Administration course must reapply to the nursing program.
