Drug Cards

[Love-A-Nurse]

during your clinical rotations, are you to make a drug card or can you use the pre-made cards?

what nursing drug reference book do you own?

although we are able to use the pre-made drug cards, i am going to write mine out. this will help the information stick for me.

if we come on site without knowing something about our patients medications, we will get a 0 for the day and of course will not be able to administer meds/pt.care, as it should be.

I type the drug info I need on Word, then print, cut and glue stick to index cards, they really look nice. Sometimes need more than one card for drugs, front and back are used.

I use Mosby's, NDH, and Davis Med Deck was required, although I hate it! Mosby's is my fav, and I usually write out the info on blank med cards purchased at my school bookstore........we also write up the prns too.
