Any suggestion for a good pharm review?

Published

Hi! Could you guys help me on how to study on Pharmacology for the NCLEX-RN exam. I'm going crazy about the meds. I have the Kaplan Medications in a box. Do you guys think it's helpful? Thanks!:)

I just used my pharm text from school. Cheap, because I already owned it.

I'm glancing through my pharm book and doing the questions at the end of the chapter. Also, Saunders has pharm-specific chapters w/questions.

I used the resources I already had. The info for pharm is going to be recall. Know drug classes and what they are for, also wise to learn most imprtant side effects of each class. I went to pharmacist for help and I felt confident in my knowledge. I didnt know many of the drugs but using the endings and remembering when and what they were helped me alot. Good Luck!;)

Thanks for responding everyone! I'm planning to schedule my NCLEX early 2011 :) I kinda feel nervous coz they say it's really that hard, but I'm doing my best in my self study.I'm keeping things positive. I will pass the boards. Thanks again! :)

Study the drugs when you study the disease or disorders. Use Saunders comp review, then practice pharm questions on Saunders cd-rom. They have 700 pharm questions in study mode, you could do 100 pharm questions a day for 7 days.
