I picked up a little side gig in retirement, "Essentials of Nursing Practice" lab, eight weeks, 24 hours a week. They will let me into the Community College uninjected. This class has been an eye opener, one third of students are great and give me hope, (not enough of them) it is the other two thirds that are a concern. I'm trying to make sure they don't go forward, example: inability to do basic 6th grade math. How were they admitted? Apparently not that hard to get into a community college. And yes, math tutoring is available, but we are talking about lack of essential math competencies, think like starting back in 2nd grade. Husband and I will stay at home if we have any control over our healthcare situation. You all need an example of one of my math questions: "Dr. orders 180 mg of x drug, x is available in 360 mg tablets. How much will you give?" They can't visualize it and can't even set up the fraction if you needed to use your calculator.
