In all seriousness, we had a nurse asking questions on here a few weeks ago and I was a little surprised by the difficulty considering they don't expect you to have a mathematical background.

Before you buy any books, check the requirements of the course you want to do - they may expect you to have certain GCSEs or equivalent, and they may ask you to take certain tests before allowing you in.

I have seen several books about Maths for Medicine and Life Sciences, or Statistics for Nursing and Healthcare, but I haven't used them myself. If you have a decent bookshop near you (e.g. Waterstones) you will find books like this either in the Nursing section or in the Maths section :smile:

At this stage, borrowing a GCSE revision guide from the local library might be sufficient.

I have just moved to London and do not know what level of math you should need.
For this reason I want to consult a book! in Italy I did years of mathematics ....
Btw i think that this forum should be helpful to those who need reliable information, not for those who like to play around!

Actually I think the OP is from abroad, so not sure what their maths background will be like or what the GCSE equivalent is :smile:

Humour bypass much?

What level of mathematics do you have? Have you studied any calculus? You only need GCSE Grade C to apply for nursing and this is not a particularly high standard. I think you may already have gone further than this.
