I, too, was trying to understand how gerbils, or the remedies for when gerbils get thrush (do they get thrush?) would help E. :)

I know that at my program they do teach you to do the math about dose x doses per day = how much you need to prescribe (if we were prescribing... this is a nursing program, not practitioner), and that I've heard from my instructors on the floors about the problems re: liquid meds (you get them a lot on GI units and oncology), but it's not specifically in the program.

I am certainly going to relay it to my classmates and instructors for our education!
