NCLEX with generic med names only

No,

But do you have Saunder's? They have a pharmacology audio tape that goes over strategies and how to identify/remember certain drug classes and medications. Its really helpful.

I took the nclex pn april 1st and i noticed that medications are named with generic name only. Good luck!

Wow ...really had a hard time with the pharm part of the test...I took the nclex-pn in March but I did not pass yet. There was a lot of pharmacology on the test over 40 question back to back for me..

I do have Saunders but I didn't know they had audio for pharm. Is this for the NCLEX rn review book? How do I access it? And thank u :)

Yes, NCLEX-RN. It's on the CD that comes with it.

i'm 1/2 way through my program so I have time to back and re-memorize meds that I knew by trade name instead of generic.

i'm really struggling with the rationale behind "generic only" test questions. I know that I need to be familiar with both names, but sometimes the trade name is more commonly used in the medical industry. I fear there will be a lot of new grads on the floor who don't know what their doc is asking them for when they yell out for "5 mg Versed STAT!" instead of "5 mg Midazolam STAT!"

I can't say that it is all generic names. I pretty much saw some trade names here and there.

yeah, the new rule that came out this year is generic names only on NCLEX.
