A strong working understanding of fractions and decimals is essential for nurses. They must be familiar enough with fractions and decimals to quickly and accurately divide, multiply, add and subtract dosages as well as convert fractions to decimals and vice versa.

Nurses also need to know how to convert fractions and decimals to percentages in order to explain medication instructions accurately and easily to their patients.
