Have you guys been given pages to read or anything about your meds/calculations. If you can convert between measurements and cross multiply you wont have too much of a problem. Good Luck

Chicklet2, Thanks for your response! We have squares that we were given at the beginning of the program but I do not know anything about them or what they mean. We have not been given any kind of instruction though because the class does not start until October 18, I was just trying to look at the book and get some pointers before the class actually started. If it is mostly math I should not have a problem, I am just trying to figure out how you can remember that this med goes with this problem etc. Anyways, thanks!

ssmiley...I have problems with Pharmacology...there seems to be a lot to remember...I got 3 different books that seem to help..I am more a visual learner...I got one called the memory notebook....nursing pharmacology made easy and straight A's in Pharmacology...I got a 94 on my Pharm. exam last semester and have my first quiz this coming Friday for this semester...my instructors keep telling me it is easier to learn the drugs by classes and what they do then to try to learn each individual name...hope some of this helps ya...good luck....
