Conversion Sheet

LEARN, MEMORIZE, LEARN, MEMORIZE, LEARN 

1. 1 L (liter) = 1000 ml(milliliters) = 1 qt (quart) = 2 pts (pints)
2. 1 kg (kilogram) = 1000g (grams) = 2.2 lbs. (pounds)
3. 1lb (pound) = 16 oz (ounces)
4. 1g (gram) = 1000 mg(milligrams)
5. 1 mg (milligram) = 1000 mcg (microgram)
6. 1oz (ounce) = 30 ml (milliliters)
7. 1 tsp (teaspoon) = 5 ml (milliliters)
8. 1 T (tablespoon) = 15 ml (milliliters) = 3 t (teaspoons)= ½ ounce
9. 1 cup = 240 ml (milliliters) = 8 ounces
10. 1 unit = 0.01 ml (milliliter)

Converting Temperatures

Celsius-to-Fahrenheit

1. Multiply by 1.8
2. Add 32

Fahrenheit-to-Celsius

1. Subtract 32
2. Divide by 1.8

Math Formulae

1. Use formula #1 when converting from one system of measurement to another system of measurement (i.e., mg=mcg)
   Desire to Change x Other Half of Conversion = Desired Conversion
   Matching Conversion
   
   
2. Use formula #2 when calculating the volume (i.e., tablets, capsules, caplets, ml, etc.) of a medication to be given to a patient.
   Doctor’s Order x Volume = Volume To Be Given
   On Hand
   
   
3. Use formula #3 when calculating the rate of an IV pump and you have available a volume (ml) and time in hours.
   Volume (ml) = ml/hr
   Time (hrs) 
   
   
4. Use formula #4 when calculating the rate of an IV pump and you have available a volume (ml) and time in minutes.
   60 x Volume (ml)= ml/hr
   Time (minutes)
   
   
5. Use formula #5 when calculating the rate of an IV order to be infused by gravity (No Pump).
   Volume (ml) x drop factor (gtts/ml) = gtts/min
   Time (minutes)
6. Use formula #2 tweaked version when calculating strength/time (i.e., mg/hr, mcg/min, mg/kg/hr) of medication to be given to a patient. This will be given on an IV pump.
   Strength/time x Volume = ml\hr
   On Hand 

Rounding Rules

1. When converting pounds to kilograms, round to hundredths.
2. When a volume is less than 1 ml, round to hundredths (use a tuberculin syringe which measures in hundredths).
3. When a volume is greater than 1 ml, round to tenths (use a standard ml syringe which measures in tenths).

IV Pumps

1. Standard IV pump measures whole ml’s….round to a whole number (i.e., 25 ml/hr).
2. Micro IV pump measures tenths of ml’s….round to tenths (i.e., 25.3ml/hr)

Receiving this error typically indicates that your account has not yet been charged the fee for the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP). You will not be able to waive the fee until AFTER it has been charged to your account, after which you will be able to successfully enter your information.

Per the United HealthCare Student Resources website, “Once you have submitted your waiver application it will be reviewed. The review process could take up to 7 business days. During the review process you could be asked to submit to your Student Health Insurance Representative proof of your insurance. This could be but is not limited to insurance identification card a certificate of insurance, a letter from your insurance company, and your entire insurance policy that outlines your coverage. (All documentation must be in English.) You will be notified at the email address you provided in your waiver application of your approved or denied waiver.”

If your waiver has been approved, the fee will be removed within a few business days. Similar to the review process, this fee removal should not take any longer than 7 business days. You may wish to contact the Student Health Insurance Representative (indicated below) regarding questions or concerns you may have during this time.

Per the United HealthCare Student Resources website, a waiver denial is typically issued to students “who are not covered by a policy held by a parent, spouse, company or organization on the approved waiver list or if the policy does not meet the minimum standards that have been established by United Healthcare Student Resources.” However, “If denied you can appeal this decision by contacting your institution’s Student Health Insurance Representative. They will also require you to submit documentation regarding your personal insurance policy. Again, this documentation could be but is not limited to your insurance card, a certificate of insurance, a letter from your insurance company, and your entire insurance policy that outlines your coverage. (All documentation must be in English.)”

As of the Fall 2021 semester, this role is fulfilled by Ms. Vicki Davis, Accountant for the Office of Financial Operations.

This fee will be applied to your account each Fall and Spring semester. Coverage for the Spring semester extends throughout the Summer semester, so the fee for the Spring semester will be higher than that of the Fall. You will need to continue waiving this fee each Fall and Spring semester after it is applied to your account.
