Drug Card Template for Nursing Students

Updated:   Published

I saw a thread on here about "Looking for a a drug card template" by a nursing student, but I can't find it now. I was in a nursing program back in 2005/2006 but had to drop out due to family issues. I am on my way back to nursing school this month (August) and I'm ready and excited about finishing this time. I am reviewing and preparing myself and I recalled hand writing drug cards. I took what I did before and several suggestions from here and other nurses and came up with my own template on the pc. I created the template in 2010 Excel using a sheet of 4 post cards that I got a box of from Office Depot.

I hope it helps other nursing students like myself. If anyone sees a way to improve it or change it for the better - please let me know. Even it if it just helps you I'd love to hear back from you.

We have to hand write ours~

Drug Classification

Uses:all uses

Actions:all actions

Names:both generic & trade

Side Effects: life threatening side effects first, define vocab unknown to student in ()

example of Med name & Dose: Generic (trade), dose range

Example of Nursing considerations: list all, putting important ones first

Baseline Assessment:

Intervention/Evaluation:

Patient teaching:

We may use accepted medical abbreviations

All this on a 4x6 WHITE index card, which we can only use our drug book NO internet or purchased drug cards. All this on a 4X6 index card...ouch my hand and carpal tunnel.

Good luck

I am also looking for a template to use. I can not use pre printed cards, but I am allowed to type mine out.
