Hey everyone, how is everyone? I have question @ the nursing books I have. I will be starting program in Fall, I was wondering-do you guys think it's a good idea to begin reading the first nursing fundamentals book to get a heads up??? I have a newer pharmacology book I bought not too long ago & I have studied that also. What does everyone think? should I or should I not? Do you think that would be jumping ahead a little too much? Thanks for your time

Do you have a pharm book? If you are taking a pharm class the first semester, I recommend that you study the major drug classifications and drug calculations. The calculations were a major struggle for some. It can't hurt to look through the fund. book and read anything that seems interesting. You will be doing a lot of reading during the second semester.

lo

I heard there's a lot of reading-sorry to say I'm not looking forward to it, my eyes hurt sometimes. I figured it would safe to read the pharm book-get a good grip on how drugs interact with the body:)

I am starting in the Fall also and came over here from the pre-nursing thread to ask this exact question. I work in a pharmacy so I have a general grasp of drugs, their generics and what they basically do. I didn't know if it would be a good idea to pick a couple drugs a week and really get into what they do in depth. How much of the first semester is dedicated to pharm? Or is it more about techniques and the systems of the body? Thanks all of you for being so helpful and passing on what you have learned. ?

that's good you have an advantage before starting being in the pharmacy already, how exciting you're starting in Fall

I wish both you and I good luck!:D

No. It's a bad idea. You are better off to study only the chapters from the specific book used by the class you are taking that you are currently taking. That will be your bible. I think it would be OK to review terms and what not, but you should enjoy your time off while you are not in school. You'll have plenty of time to study when you start school, so there is not need to rush it.
