Drug Cards?

[henry-106]

Hey ya guys. I am in Pharmacology this quarter. And we are starting this week jsut pure memorization on the different drugs.

Was wondering, is it woth spending $40 or more on getting already made Drug cards? I am will be making some anyways. And my school has no regulation againest them. We are using the Pretence Hall Drug book. But should I go w/ Mosby's? Kaplan? For drug cards?

Appreciate your input.

Thanks.

Beth,

Check out this web site a member put together. It's awsome! Drug cards can be printed there, among other things. http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/allnursesstudents/

I'm not sure if my school allows pre made cards or not but I am curious how to fit all the information on one little card, handwritten???? Any suggestions??? I dont have pharm for a couple more months but we are starting our cards now. Thanks

Stressgal- thanks I wil go check it out.

Deann- Normally we don't use the regular size indexcards. My boyfriend had a huge stack of ones that were 5x7. And those seemed to work better then the smaller ones. And of course, my prof. only had us know the name(s),reaction to the body,normal dose, side effects, etc. So we easily fit it all on there. And of course if your school allows you can get the Pre-made ones- Mosby has a good deck.

Hope you all enjoy your day. :) :)
