Woh! No question! Take the pharm course! Take TWO if you can!
Medical terminology will be included in your first (and all subsequent) nursing courses.
I read my textbooks with a small nursing dictionary at my side. It's easy to just lookup the words you see all the time, like "supine." Later, if you want, you can look up the "fun" words (like rhabdomyolysis!) !!!
Good luck!
FaithnFocus,
I had the same question in reference to both courses for the nursing program. I borrowed a medical terminology book (The Medicine of Language) and I'm looking into purchasing a Pharmacology book (that's not to technical) recommended here on allnurses. I have to take a biology class this summer and pharm is not offered at the CC.

Hi,
Truman College recommended Pharmacology for Nurses and/or Medical Terminology class for new nursing students. Which class is more useful to take? Which will be utilized when working as a nurse? Please let me know.
Thanks
