When I was a paramedic and the ER doctor gave me a titration (infusion rate), I would make them figure out how many drops per minute. I am sorry, but I was a bit too busy in the back of a moving ambulance to do LONG equations.
As for in the classroom, as long as I kept my units in order I was able to figure out the rate. Man, I love those pumps where you just enter the number of drops per minute.
Good luck with your rotations. I hope everything else is going well!
