Has anyone here taken the pharmacology hesi for RN? I am getting ready to take it in a few weeks and have been taking the practice tests. Drugs are my weakest area and was hoping I could get a few pointers on how to memorize drugs effectively. Thanks! Anything helps;)

Hi..I just took it last week. My best advice is to use the Saunders review if you have that and study that strategies and rationale. Also looking at the suffix of the drugs and memorize/associate those..etc. Good luck!

Get the Hesi Comp Review for NCLEX-RN. It comes with software that includes practice exams. Pharmacology in particular. Or ask other fellow nursing students if you can borrow their CD. I'm sure someone has it. I felt like it was pretty indicative of the actual Hesi Pharm test. It's also a good idea to miss the practice questions and go back to review the rationales. Also, you could look at your fake scores. It will give you a list of questions/subtopics you got wrong. You could use it as a study guide as well.
Here's a link on Amazon for the book.

Thanks for the advice!
