Does your LPN/LVN program have a Pharmacology course?

I'm just curious how many programs have Pharmacology as a separate course rather than integrated into the nursing curriculum.

I just got through Pharmacology (including ATI exam)...my goodness it was so hard! I have never studied so hard in my life.
