Attached are 12 Word documents which I made when I took pharmacology. All the information was based on the ATI study guide since that constituted the final exam in our class.
Updated:
Members are discussing issues related to downloading and printing index cards for studying pharmacology. They are sharing tips on how to print the cards, discussing the use of specific templates, and expressing gratitude for the helpful resources provided. Additionally, there are questions about symbols used on the cards and clarification on their meanings, specifically related to pregnancy categories.
These are formatted as 3x5 cards and were printed on individual 3x5 cards.
Have at 'em if you think they'll help... they certainly worked for me.
Again, they are entirely my own creation based on the information out of the ATI book. I make no promises as to their accuracy (though I rocked pharm so they couldn't be too bad).
Feedback is welcome.

Juufro said:Thanks for doing this! I have my ATI pharm next week Friday. Do you think it's possible to get a lvl 2 if I use your flash cards? There's so many meds. I'm not sure which is the most effective method in preparing myself.
I got a level 3 or 1... whatever it was... highest one... and I primarily used these cards to study... along with Lippincott's Illustrated Review of Pharmacology.
Keep in mind, however, that (1) I created these cards which entailed a great deal of studying to begin with and (2) that I read (mostly) the textbook during the semester.

You're welcome. It's satisfying to see my efforts "amortized" over many, many students.
Some will advise not to study beforehand but I'm of the opinion that one should start studying drugs and drug classes from the moment one chooses to enter nursing school and continue throughout one's nursing career.
I still have aspirations of turning these cards into (a) and ePub document and (b) an android app... I've been saying that for years, now, but I'm getting closer and have actually purchased an ePub publishing suite.
Thank you so much for your generous sharing of your hard work! I'll be going to nursing school this fall and the looming dread and fear I have is pharmacology - so much memorization! Thanks to you, I can get an early start and maybe have these drugs in my long-term memory by the time I'm tested on them.
Thank you!!!!

Just wanted to say thank you for the flashcards. I have my exit HESI in a month and pharmacology is my weak point. With these flashcards you have designed I am certain I will rock the med section of the HESI. You are awesome for sharing.
