Abstract

With Calculators so readily available, many students assume that there is no need to be competent in basic mathematical skills. However, research carried out into the mathematical skills and conceptual ability of students enrolled in undergraduate nursing degrees in tertiary institutions in Victoria and South Australia indicates deficiencies which often hinder performance and cause considerable stress to the students throughout the course. This research also suggested that many students were unable to use a calculator with competence.
