Kerri Wright (University of Greenwich) gave an authoritative overview of real and perceived "issues" relating to the mathematical competency of nurses, in particular drug calculations. Kerri has researched and published widely in this area. A quick search using Google Scholar with keywords "kerri wright nursing" will quickly find many of her papers - or click here to start.
Another excellent article I would recommend is:
Hoyles C, Noss R & Pozzi S (2001) Proportional Reasoning in Nursing Practice, Journal for Research in Mathematics Education Vol. 32, No. 1 (Jan., 2001), pp. 4-27 http://www.jstor.org/stable/749619
Please add a comment if you wish to discuss the above papers, or if you can recommend any others.
