Summary: This paper focuses on the mathematical calculation skills required for clinical nursing as a pre-requisite to nurse registration. It reviews studies indicating lack of proficiency both in the student population and in registered practitioners, the links between proficiency and subsequent clinical practice, and suggests an integrated approach to improve mathematical knowledge and application in practice. Although the focus is on the single profession of nursing, most of the issues apply to other health professions. This is No 3 in the Occasional Papers Series
