Drugs on the NCLEX

[paacollins]

I just dug this list up from a 2006 thread that listed drugs commonly asked about on the NCLEX. Does anyone know if this would be accurate for 2008? I'm thinking there might be a few newer drugs listed as well. If anyone has any educated input, please feel free to update this list. I know a lot of people are very concerned about meds, me being one of them. I'm pretty good with pharm but there sooooooooooo many drugs out there, no way to know them all.
