I am curious to know what your opinion is on whether or not students should be allowed to use calculators during their med math tests.
My experience with students is that they are raised on computers and have had easy access to calculators since about the 8th grade. Many haven't done stubby pencil and paper math for a long time.
Our faculty requires students to pass med math with 100%. Students have 2 opportunities to retake the test. If they don't get 100%, they do not progress and fail the course.
Does NCLEX open up a calculator window for flow rate questions?
Calculator or no calculator?
