EricJRN, MSN, RN 1 Article; 6,681 Posts Has 17 years experience. Jan 3, 2008 I wouldn't try to learn a list. If it were me, I would look at a pharmacology text and learn each class of drugs. The drugs in a class often share common name endings (-lol, -pril, etc), indications, contraindications, side effects and nursing considerations.

Jan 3, 2008 Hello, that is me again with the new question, is there a list of meds for nclex that is available, because I just don't know where to start.Don't bother trying to learn individual drugs-- there are too many. Instead, try learning the different classes of drugs. If you learn what the SSRI's do, how they do it and what the side effects are, then you have 5-10 drugs nailed right there. Also learn the suffixes for each class(-olol, -pril, etc) Hope this helps and good luck.
