Learning meds by classifications

Hey, I'm a student nurse who has just completed the first semester and it was awesome. Over Christmas break I'd like to study medications by their classifications because I was told by my clinical instructor that that would be the best way to learn them in an organized manner. Any suggested methods or readings on how to tackle that? Some of them are easy for me but others are still confusing so learning this way I'm sure will make it much easier.

Thanks!

I am so glad you made a thread for this, I was thinking the same exact thing!... Meds seem really tricky, and I really plan on focusing on them during the break. (But I refuse to start before Christmas... :chuckle)

Google "medication prefizes and suffixes." You'll get a ton of listings and will find one you like.

It was the way I did it, kind of without even thinking about it. You start to notice that beta-blockers are olols, ACE inhibitors prils, benzodiazepines pams.

It works.

Thanks for the suggestions. I did briefly look at that table under the drugs tab and it looks very promising. I added it to my favorites to look at over the break (today I have to study for my 101 final which is Thursday, aaaaarrrrrrgggghhhhhh!). Anyway, thanks again!
