So I am starting the nursing program this fall and all I have heard are HORROR stories about pharmacology 125-especially regarding my particular instructor. We have been told to get our books as early as possible and review-we have even been given chapters to review in the pharm book. Unfortunatly for me, (and other students who need financial aid) our book award dose not kick in until one week prior to the begining of class, and you can only purchase the books in a package for 700+ dollars. Oh, by the way, you cannot buy the books and then use to book award to repay your funds, so it dosnt look like I'll be getting the book until they release my funds.
Does anyone out there have any tips, pointers, words of advise, ANYTHING that will help a student to be successful in pharm(its our first semester pharm) that I could maybe start doing now or tips to help me through the semester?
Any positive feedback would be lovely! I've had enough of the negative feedback! lol:)
By the way, I am not looking for an easy way out and I can accept a challenge but I would just like some tips from other students or nurses who were successful in pharm125 :)
Mosby's Pharmacology Memory NoteCards (ISBN: 9780323053065) is fantastic in helping with pharmacology!!!
This also comes in coloring book form, so you can color the diagrams as you are studying them. I think it's one of the various volumes of Mosby's Memory Notebook of Nursing.
get this coloring book: memory notebook of nursing: volume 2-3rd ed. (isbn#1892155109 or 139781892155108)! it's full of mnemonics that help you to memorize a lot of nursing info.!

i just got this as a help for ns in the fall. should i get the other volumes, too, or is this one the best?
I took pharm over the summer and got a very low "C". I'm repeating it this fall. My major problem was work....I just had too many irons in the fire. I've cut back on work to two days/wk. My advisor thinks I shouldn't repeat the class since I passed, but I don't feel confident that I'm ready for pharm 2.
