Yikes FNP Drug Class is hard!!


Hi all. Did anyone find their pharmacy class in FNP difficult? I just started school this fall, and the first exam was on cardiology medications. It is an area I have not utilized much recently, so many of it was new. I loved studying for it, and studied hard and thought I knew it. My first test came back a C! It was an online, time test. I didn't think it was too bad. But not a lot of questions, and some of them had a couple possible answers, but you had to come up with the best one. I think I spent too much time at the beginning, and then had to rush through.

Heck, I haven't even taken Patho yet. I think I should have taken that first, but anyway. We have case studies we do, and I think I did well on that. So my grade should be the needed B. I guess I am so use to doing very well in school.

This made me humble. Not concerned I can't do it. But realize I have a lot to learn!

You definitely should have advanced patho before taking advanced pharm. I found pharm interesting, but very challenging mostly due to the volume of information we needed to learn rather than difficulty of the material. I am not a big studier but I had to study a LOT. Very glad it's over! Good luck.
