Mathematics Education for Nurses

Our Goal

The High-Quality Math Education for Nurses Task Force was supported by the Charles A. Dana Center, the Mathematical Association of America (MAA), and Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) from 2017 through 2022.

The goal of this task force was to ensure that all students in nursing programs gain the mathematical knowledge, skills, and attitudes to promote and provide safe, high-quality health care.
