I need drug card help

LauraLou · Nov 2, 2004

I suggest buying drug cards unless your school requires you to write them out by hand. Mosby has good ones which I use.

I would check with your instructors...ours had a paper listing the specific information they wanted on all of our drug cards: Trade name, generic name, classification, indications, dosage/route, side effects, contraindications, nursing implications, and the reference on the back to where we obtained the info (I almost always find everything in Mosby's Nursing Drug Guide). I also have the pre-made Mosby drug cards, but I feel like the drugs I make cards on myself, I know better. Good luck!

P.S. I also have a really quick format to type the cards up in, using Word. If you're interested, PM me!

There are some drug cards here, don't know if it would be helpful or not but you could look. Lots of other study files too:
