Thank you so much I really appreciate your response! I will study that way from now on. Sounds a lot more organized to follow those steps and pick out what's most important rather than trying to memorize every single thing for each med!

I am in my second year of nursing and currently learning about respiratory meds. My lists consists of Sympathomimetics Corticosteroids Antimuscarinics Methylxanthines Mast cell inhibitors Leukotrine antagonists Mucolytic agents Antihistamines Antibiotics Antitussives I remember from fundamentals of nursing a lot of the drugs and different classes but I am now having a hard time remembering all the names of drugs under each of these categories. Does anyone have any shot cuts/ easier ways to remember drug names? I'm killing my self trying to remember so much and there's a ought to worry about besides the drugs! Haha. One example I can think of is for corticosteroids some one told me to remember ONE. Corticosteroids are the number ONE anti inflammatory drugs and this device helps me when I see a drug with ONE in it i know it's a corticosteroid. Sorry for this long page of writing. Thank you for reading I hope you all have some good ideas I'm so stuck! :) thank you

This is a great point, I believe kids may have many different reasons why they visit you. They may truly have these pains and I think that teaching them little ways to relieve the symptoms they have is great idea. If a girl has cramps teach we what you know :) she may not have a mom at home or maybe she is too scared to ask another person bec it embarrasses her. My point is that we do not know what these kids may be thinking. We do not know what they are going through at home. They may want to get out of class. Maybe they really are concerned and we can help take the stress away and teach them! Or maybe we can talk to them and really see what's going on which may be deeper than a sour belly. I'm only a nursing student but I think that physical symptoms may be a cry for help in other ways as well... Just another way to think of these situations :). Thanks

Congrats girl!!! Hard work sure does pay off.
