What do you do in Pharmacology?

Published

Because my ADN program doesn't have a pharmacology course per se, it's rather worked into our other courses. I'm going to do an RN-BSN program eventually and that program will offer a true blue pharmacology program, but until then I just want to get a leg up on everyone else in my ADN program and study on my on time.

What all do you study in pharmacology? I know what pharmacology is, but I just wanted some guidelines from other schools.

If anyone has any links to pharmacy websites (geared towards education for students) or any websites related to pharmacology please give me some links and I would be very appreciative!

Thanks for any help!!

Every school is different!

In my BSN program we are taught pharm for each section (diabetes, renal, cardio, psych, OB, etc) and we also learn pharm during our clincal rotations (we are grilled!), but we also have a seperate pharm class during second semester (I think 3 credit hours?).

We use Lilley- Pharmacology and the Nursing Process 4th edition as well as the study guide:
