Take the fear out of statistics with this straightforward, practical and applied book on the 'how and why ' of using statistics. In your profession as a nurse, you 'll be presented with statistics every day: mortality rates, average life expectancy, percentage recovery rate, average remission time, the findings of which drugs work best with which illnesses.
