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.
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).
Wow, these cards look great! Thanks for taking the time to create them! I may have missed something, but I'm a bit unclear as to how these are to print out. I am downloading to a Mac Word v. 12.3.2. When I open the files, I get a msg about my version not being able to use your VBA macros. Will I miss anything by not utilizing the macros? Are these suppose to print in a particular format? Perhaps the layout you used is not transferring to a Mac... I will have my tech wise hubby take a look too.
I apologize if this issue has already been addressed - I did do a little searching around allnurses for info.
Again, thank you so much for sharing your tools and good luck on the ebooks - hope you still get to do that project!!
You're welcome. I created them for my own pharm class several years ago and shared them with my classmates. One day I came across them and decided to float 'em onto the cloud and chose AN as a nod to Brian and trying to enhance the value of his site.

When I printed them, I simply loaded my printer (an Epson of some sort but don't remember the model as it's been replaced a couple of times) with blank 3x5 index cards, printed all the odd pages, reloaded them the other side out, and then printed the even pages. I remember having to futz with portrait versus landscape in order to figure out how to get them printing correctly but it didn't require any special equipment or programs.

Sorry, I don't do Macs... I find them difficult to work with.

No, the VBA code are simple routines that I used to facilitate creation of the cards (e.g. changing line spacing, fonts, etc). They were used only for creation and editing, not for viewing or printing.

They print to 3x5 cards. I think I did set my printer for 3x5 cards as well as how it's set in the Word file.

Could be, but I doubt it... Mac Word should import the Word 2003 file without difficulty. I'd guess the glitch lies with your printer settings. Like I said, I don't understand how Apple products work so I don't know how you get at the printer settings.

There you go... that's what my wife always does ?

I don't think it has... not sure if anybody's had trouble printing 'em out or not.

I'll get there... I'm just pushed to the limit trying to get up to speed on the new job... I've got the software, I just need to spend some time learning how to use it.... it's a hobby but I've got a bunch of house projects waiting for me, too.
I may not get to it 'til long after you're a practicing RN ?

I have a Mac and didn't have a problem printing then on flash cards, never got the msg about the macros though, so I'm not sure about what not enabling them will do.

Enabling them does nothing besides provide some tools for editing.
Whether the warning is displayed or not probably depends on the security settings on your machine. Given that a VBA routine can do some destructive things, some Word deployments automatically disable them unless they're digitally signed (which mine aren't).
I'm glad you were able to print them without any difficulties, however. Did you need to make any settings in your printer setup or did it just read the defaults from the Word document?

Ok I think I changed my security settings so I never got the macro msg. I know what they are for I was just saying I don't know if not enabling them in this case would change anything. I didn't have to change anything as far as page and print setup just sent it to print and loaded the blank index cards.
Music in My Heart & sugarbianca,Thank you so very much for taking the time to reply. I will try printing to index cards.I hear ya' 'bout the house projects! Well, good luck with the job anyway!Again, thanks for sharing!-booncis
Is there any way someone could email these to me? I can't open the attachment, I haven't been able to confirm my account after multiple attempts of contact to allnurses. These would be so valuable!!

I've posted them to 4shared.com. If you give me your e-mail address, I'll send you the links.

Thank you for sharing! I'm starting Pharmacology in 2 weeks, and I've no doubt that these will come in very handy throughout the semester.
