question for recent test takers

[nontrad1964]

Hi

I am going to be finishing up my LPN program after the fall semseter and have one question I need answered. My program does not have a pharmacology class or terminology class. I assume we are to learn the meds through the medsurg rotation. I guess I really feel that I may be missing something important by not having a seperate pharm class and this worries me. I have bought myself a basic self study terminology book as I thought it would help with diagnosis if I could put the parts of words together and am not worried on that. But the pharmacology stuff really bothers me.

Also, my program has an 89% pass rate for first time test takers the past two years. (our lowest passing grade is an 80%) Is that good or not so good.

We had a class - but learned nothing. I have been told that there is VERY LITTLE on the test. Just go over your review stuff and you will be fine. But, I will take the test in a few weeks and let you know first hand.
