Author Biography

I can't help myself; sharing knowledge and promoting humor are passions I often engage in. After 20 years of nursing (primarily ICU, ER, PACU, and Flight Nurse), I now find myself compelled to share the easiest ways to solve IV dosage calculations. Thus, the birth of my first book. This book is a toolbox of easy to use formulas and my hope is that they empower you with the skills and confidence to solve any IV dosage calculation that you may face. Today, I spend my days banging away on the keyboard toward yet another book idea. My husband Dan and my cat Tig are very supportive. The cat keeps me company and my husband, well, he's under the delusion of, "If she's writing a book, she will not have time to write a honey do list". Sally Fox Harris, BSN, RN
