We had to learn them by their broken down classifications. As far as antihypertensives go for remember the names of the medications they can be grouped together by the last letters. For example the -lol (metropolol or carvidilol) are beta blockers. Beta blockers lower blood pressure and lower heart rate. Grouping them together by the last 3 letters made that particular group of meds a lot easier to study.

Hi! My husband was also in the military when I went through the nursing program. Yes, the program is demanding, but where there is a will there is a way. The thing that worked out best for me was making friends in the neighborhood and exchanging favors. Somedays they helped me with my kiddos and other days I helped them with them with their kids. I also had a baby during the program while my husband was deployed (getting pregnant right before a deployment seems to always be in the cards for us, lol), I was able to have my grandmother come down for a few months to help me out when I had the baby. I'm not sure if you have any family that would be willing to come and help you when you husband leaves. But make friends, you will certainly make friends in the program and they will also add to your support system. They may also have suggestions for you. Go for it! Don't put it off any longer, do what you need to do, you will get through it and before you know you will be graduating! Good Luck!
