Does anyone have a suggestion of a good book/resource for studying medications that are probably on the NCLEX?

Try the saunders nclex. At the end of the chapters, they have meds in the back

Try the prentice hall nursing book for pharmacology. I got this book after I had obscure drugs on my second attempt at the NCLEX - I immediately ordered this book and found those drugs I had seen on the exam within it!!!

i bought these nclex pharmocology review cards from kaplan at my local book store. there are 300 meds so its not so overwhelming. i got them only 10 days before my test so i didn't get thru them all but it seemed to help. there were meds on there that i had gone over, and i did pass!

good luck

I have the Saunders NCLEX Review book, but it doesn't really talk about side effects, class and stuff like that.

I'll check out the other books -- thanks!

Does anyone know anything about the 'incredibly easy' pharm book? Is it any good?

Probably better to buy a good drug book like Davies which you can utilise afterwards as it will always come in handy

Well, I have the PDR Nursing Drug Handbook, so I can look up individual things, but it has almost every drug possible. There's no way I can know that!

I'm just wondering if there's something out there like the vocab cards for the GRE ... it has suggested words with the definitions, usage and such. I'm looking for the top drugs, main/important side effects, etc.

Any help is appreciated!!
