Personal professional mathematics tuition for nurses under C$8.20 an hour! The Video CD lessons on offer are based on the Nursing Examination papers shown to me by a nurse who had problems with the arithmetic aspect of the exam. I made the videos after a one to one tuition session where I helped her to understand the arithmetic in the exam and she helped me with the medical jargon. The idea being that she could look again at the methods explained in the session, in her own home, at her own speed, before sitting the exam again. She suggested that I should make the videos available to any nurse who, like her, had problems with the arithmetic in this exam. The lessons are sold as set of 6 VCD’s lasting a total of 5 hours 55 minutes. Also included will be printed copies of the questions explained in the videos. Here is a video clip....(more FREE video clips can be found on YouTube)........Assessment Test Number One Question 10.
