Pharmacology Flashcards (drug cards)

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. Nursing Students Student Assist Article

I have not started pharm-- i start in August. Would you recommend studying these before hand? Wich part?

and thank you for sharing these with us :)

Does anyone know how to make these cards look normal on an apple computer. I looked at it while at work on a dell and it looked like flash cards. Then I go home and it looked like my son got a hold to the tab key and space bar. Ohh apple products are just to fancy for me!!

Thank you!!! These flash cards are wonderful!!

I don't have an Apple computer, but what I would do (what I do to view Office docs on my iDevices) is from a PC I would digitally print them as PDFs, this will preserve the formatting from Word and hopefully your home printer will have no trouble with them.

Thank you so much for posting these flashcards. Did you use these for NCLEX RN presentation? Any other resources you could recommend for someone who has completed both patho/pharm classes and still feel like I don't know a thing about pharm? Thank you!

You're welcome.

I didn't really study for the NCLEX. I figured I would go in first trusting my studies to that point and repeat it if I failed -- as it turned out, I passed (as do some 85% of US-educated, 1st-time takers).

I would start by challenging your statement that "I don't know a thing about pharm." Really, you don't know what beta blockers do or what Lasix does? I'd guess that you know at least something about pharmacology.

The best resource of which I'm aware, particularly for a broad overview of the topic, is Lippincott's Illustrated Review of Pharmacology... you can pick up older editions for less than $10...

It is, by far, the best overview of pharmacology that you will find.

I added you as a friend so I can find this post when Aug 1 2014 come so I can be studying them before I apply to my nursing programs. Thank you!!

And I accepted you as a friend since I figure nobody can ever have too many friends.

To find these cards, though, one simply has to use the phrase "pharmacology flashcards" in Google or through the AN search engine (which I believe is simply a filtered search through the Google search engine anyway).

And, you're welcome. I hope you find them useful.

I'm using the mobile app and the FAQs are just in the forum, just scroll down until you see it.

Thank you. These will be very helpful. I have one question.

How can ketorolac be labeled an NSAID and you have that it relieves pain without the anti-inflammatory effect? Isn't an NSAID by definition used to relieve pain and inflammation?
