How many drams in a grain of vanco?

This week's been all pharmacology all the time it seems. I had a lot of memorization to do for the Tuesday quiz and was able to tell a muscarinic agonist from a muscarinic antagonist (that's all gone now) but forgot to memorize the @#$$*!@ conversions between grains and grams and mLs and ounces and so on. So I missed a bunch of very simple questions on the quiz and was so frazzled that I managed to convert milligrams into micrograms instead of the other way around, thus missing the one conversion question that I DID know the answer to.

Our lectures this week have been on antibiotics and antifungals, which I find to be a welcome change from the beta blockers and MAOIs we looked at before. I was meant for a career in infectious diseases...now I just hope I can find a job when I finish school.

I did better on the quiz today, mainly because I got those conversions down. As we were sitting down, I heard G mention the conversion between F and C - which I had totally forgotten to include in my flashcards - and asked her to repeat it. Sure enough, there was a question about it. Thank god for classmates!
