Latin terminology

Published

What's the Latin terminology everyone is talking about on NCLEX? I don't remember this in school. Where can I review?

I'm not sure specifically what they are referring to but most medical terminology is based on Latin prefixes and suffixes, so it is good to review those because the NCLEX will sometimes name weird diseases that you haven't come across. Knowing that common medical prefixes and suffixes can you help give you an idea of the disease may include. There are some great phone apps that review with games to help you review medical prefixes and suffixes.
