Nurses Medications
Published Feb 24, 2011
I want to read about medications that are nornally given by nurses, what do you normally deal with on your floor? I'm hoping to see a common drug list, but who knows...
Thanks.

You can Almost determine age and area of nursing by the meds we give.

You should google "Common NCLEX drugs" and you should find lists of commonly used drugs that are not only the NCLEX but most commonly given. Just depends on what kind of unit you're working on...

It's hard to narrow it down to 5, but here goes:
Protonix
Fragmin
Dilaudid
Zofran
Reglan
The biggest determinant of most commonly used meds is probably what area you are working in.

Good question -- its cool reading replies and trying to guess where people work :) I'm still in nursing school, but I feel like I given a lot of Digoxin, so I was surprised not to see more of that.
