Med Cards

[Idiosyncratic, BSN, RN]

Just wondering what everyone has done for their med cards? Like how have you designed them? We are free to do it our own ways, and i'm trying to figure it out. I want to use the bigger flash cards, but I don't want things to be all the same color. It's confusing that way. But I don't want them to be scattered either. I'm trying to figure out how to divide them, so anything you can offer is appreciated!

Hey-

So our instructors told us the best way to try is to do them by classification. On one side write the Trade and generic name, under that write the class. On the other side Define: uses, dosage/route, side effects, nursing implications, pt. teaching.

I prefer to write them in pencil so when i make mistakes i can easily erase.

Hope that helps you out.
