Hey everyone I am in my second year of nursing school and I have to retake pharmacology. I was wondering what supplemental resources you guys used?

I paid for a subscription to Lexicomp so I'd always have a quick drug reference in my phone. It was invaluable while in school and I continued to use it when I started my first nursing job.

I made an app, it contains drug classes, drugs associated with the classes (generic and brand name), and all of the information school, clinicals, and the NCLEX required me to know such as MOA's, vitals, labs, common/severe side effects and nursing considerations to watch for. Check it out, its free, it's on the app stores or through our website nclexessentials.barcalabs.com. Good luck. I just passed my nclex last August and this guide is all I studied to prep for pharm.
PS. You can endlessly study for pharmacology, there's a whole career on it. I suggest you focus on the basics for now.
