Nclex Meds And Memorization

Published

Hello, well it has been a few weeks since I have been to the site as I have been studying and doing my review. My question is to what degree are you fellow nurses studying the drugs? Do you memorize all dosages needed for every indicated use or do you just memorize the basic dosages? Because I am having a heck of a time:banghead: memorizing every and all indicated dosages for some of the drugs as there are so so many. Please help with your imput..any and all sugestions are welcome...I really need to have some sort of idea as to the general consensus. Thanks :)

hi IMO, I'm not sure I would learn the dosages...there is no way you can learn all of the drugs and all of the dosages. But here is a start to preparing and learning some classifications of meds that might pop up on the exam. I got this from another thread. Good luck.

caine= local anesthetics

cillin= antibiotics

dine= anti-ulcer agents

done= opiod analgesics

ide= oral hypoglycemics

iam= antianxiety agents

micin= antibiotics

nium= neuromuscular blocking agents

olol= beta blockers

ole= anti-fungal

oxacin= antibiotics

pam= antianxiety agents

pril= ace inhibitors

sone= steroids

statin= antihyperlipidemics

vir= antivirals

zide= diuretics

Feel free to add more if you like.
