11. Pharmacology Failure - Need Advice

    heatherxnicole replied to stephwp's topic in General Students

    Well you'll be studying types of drugs. We took pharm as part of our nursing curriculum. My prof liked to ask about aspects of the drug that were unique. It was always important to know if something had to be taken at night (like cholesterol meds) vs...

    Haha I think we saw some of y'all down the hall testing. My friend walked by and heard someone talking about what the essay was going to be like. Waiting was definitely the most nerve-wrecking part!
