Hi all,
I haven't visited the forums in a while, I have been busy with nursing school!! (Good news, I think I will get all A's and/or A-'s!!!! Hard work pays off)
I wanted to ask a question about either homemade drug cards or buying them. I made some purchases to help me in class and some ended up not being the right resources, so I wanted to ask for suggestions here please. I bought the book "Pharmacology made insanely easy" and I really love it, but I need more drugs and nursing priorities. I get a little overwhelmed when I make drug cards myself, not sure what to leave out and I end up putting too much info, so it's like 4 cards for one drug.
Thank you!

I bought the Pharm Phlash cards, and they're pretty handy. They don't have all the info on them that my instructor wants us to know, so I just sharpie extra notes on them if I need to. What I like the most about the cards I bought is that there isn't a card for every single drug; similar drugs are grouped together, which makes the material appear less overwhelming to me.

A lot of the people in my cohort have been using the Mosby's pharm cards to supplement. We also have to add things to them and they don't cover everything. But the weird cartoons actually help me remember stuff lol
