Forum rules
Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page
Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

I had a very similar question and after much searching found that you have to use the package insert for each drug to determine how many mg per mL are present in the particular drug. Good luck!

The thing you have to realize with this type of conversion is that you are converting mass to volume, meaning each conversion will be different depending on the substance you are converting. By converting first mg(mass) -> mL(volume) you can easily convert mL to cc(also a volume)
Many places will use a standard, such as water, when doing a conversion like this. For water it's easy 1 mg is 1 mL which is 1 cc. As a surgical tech you will need to determine how the hospital does it's conversions. :D

Actually converting mg to cc is so universal that there is an online calculator (http://calculator-converter.com/converter_mg_to_cc_milligrams_to_cubic_centimeters_calculator.php) and the calculator doesn't specify for which hospital which means it is universal.
The conversion has a table also:
1 milligram (mg) = weight of 0.001 cubic centimeter (cc, cm3) of pure water at temperature 4 °C = 0.001 gram (g) = 0.000001 kilogram (kg). 1 cubic centimeter (cc, cm3) = 1 ml (milliliter) = 0.0338140227 US fluid ounces (fl. oz) = 1/1000 L (Liter, the official SI unit of volume).
