Pharm, help!!!

I found that pharm has an overwhelming amount of new information to learn. Don't try to read/memorize every little thing. Study the prototype drugs, suffixes, and main concepts and if you're going to make flashcards for anything focus on those things. Download Micromedex or another similar drug app, or get a drug handbook (like Mosby's) for quick referencing. If you have questions and rationales that is also an effective way to learn this information.

What helps too is learning about the drugs your patient is on when you are in clinical. I remember at the nursing home everyone seemed to be on a BP medication, and coumadin (which you'll learn about labs then, PT&INR). The repetition will help. Know the antidotes and what drugs interact? Which electrolytes do you monitor? Is there a risk for organ damage? What about in the elderly or the young? Keep all this mind.

While the posting of your personal e-mail is allowed.....we discourage it strongly. This is an anonymous internet community and although it is the best.....it is still PUBLIC and you never really "know" who you are giving your personal information to and you should protect yourself accordingly.

If you look on page 14 you will find the resources there for yourself....which is the second time I posted them.

I'm talking to you, above poster,-- and change your posting name and your completely recognizable picture stat to something anonymous.

I can't open a doc. Would someone be kind enough to copy and paste it for me?

tia!

There is a cool pharm song about Meds on YouTube look it up it's quite catchy and goes by the suffixes of the words
