A drip and dose calculator built for nurses, not engineers.
Weight-based math, mcg/kg/min reverse-calculation, IV gtts/min, and concentration checks from a browser-safe workstation tool.
Hospital phone policies do not stop nurses from needing fast dimensional analysis. This web version covers the math that is safe to run on a shared workstation without storing identifiers or syncing clinical data.
What RN PocketPal does
- Concentration from drug amount and total volume.
- Reverse-calc from target mcg/kg/min to mL/hr.
- Current-rate conversion back to mcg/kg/min and mg/hr.
- Gravity drip conversion for 10, 15, 20, and 60 gtt/mL sets.
- Runs entirely in the browser; inputs are not persisted.
Who it’s for
Bedside RNs, LPNs, students, and charge nurses who need a PHI-free calculator on a workstation when phones are not allowed.
Frequently asked questions
- Does the web calculator save anything?
- No. Inputs live only in page state and disappear when the page refreshes.
- Can I use this for high-alert medications?
- Use it only as educational decision-support. Verify with the order, pump library, facility policy, and required independent double-checks.
