Hello Pharmacy Students Past & Present,

Any recommendations on getting pharmacy study cards? I heard that Mosby's cards are good as well as Howard Shen's Illustrated Pharmacy Memory Cards. Please can someone help me make my decision?

Hello!

I used Kaplan Pharmacology Flip-o-matic. I purchased it 2 1/2 yrs ago at Books-A-Million. I don't know if it is still available. If it is, please purchase it. I know without a doubt, that it really helped me. I made straight A's in Pharmacology, but I had a strange feeling about not studying medications for the NCLEX. I had 80 questions, and 6 were medication questions. I had heard to study the basics. Well, the questions went beyond basic. Maybe that is why the questions continued. I really knew my meds! You may be a pharmacy major, but I am an RN, and I sat for the NCLEX, and passed it the first time, and these cards were a big part in my doing so. I highly recommend them!! Good Luck!:heartbeat:heartbeat:heartbeat

Thanks2006RNC,

I will definitely look into this. I'm really surprised that I have not received much feedback on this issue.

I don't know.. i bought some and never used them. I guess it just depends on what type of learner you are..

I had to write my own cards. I learn by writing and seeing my own handwriting. I made cards for every test and seperated them in categories in a recipe box. So at the end of the semester I had a good chunk of meds already written up for the nursing program.

Thank you everyone for your response. I'm shocked that anyone has time to make their cards. Thanks for the website. I think that will be my choice due to very hard time constraints. Good luck to all.:yeah:
