I took my NCLEX (and passed) first week of this past February. As I recall the drug names were generally the generic and not the trade names.

I took the nclex-pn on Wednesday the 30th and I had generic (trade) .. I doubt they would ever take that away from future nclex takers.. It would be too confusing..

Some drugs will have both names and some don't. When I took mine this past May, I had some with both the generic and trade names and some just the generic. Try to learn them with their surfaces, eg lol, pril, zole, mycin, etc.
