 Hey guys so today's video is going to be on struggling in pharmacology and when I was in nursing school pharmacology was probably the hardest class that I took in nursing school and if you can hear any noise in the background that's just my puppies playing and sorry but they're distracted so that's good. So pharmacology was really really hard for me. I was a straight day student throughout my pre-rex and in high school and you know I was really dedicated to getting good grades and when I took my first pharmacology exam I got like a low B and I'm not saying that like it's necessary to get all A's and that you know that means something but to me I really really strive to get all A's and so getting a low B on my first pharmacology exam I was so devastated and I was like oh my gosh how am I going to get through the next three or four exams for this semester. So what I ended up doing is I actually made a study guide for each exam where I would hand write out every single medication, how it worked, side effects, all the important information and I would study that and then I would go and rewrite it until I could write everything and say everything from memory and I had a friend who did the same thing so we meet up together and we would just talk back and forth about each medication and it was very very time consuming. It worked and in the end I ended up getting an A in my pharmacology class but it took a lot of dedication, a lot of time and so I wish I had had better resources or things that I could have used to help study pharmacology. I realized after my pharmacology class that YouTube offers a lot of videos on certain medications and stuff but you kind of have to like find and search them and it's kind of difficult. So what I've actually discovered and I wanted to tell you guys about it because a lot of you guys ask me how should I study for pharmacology? How do I get an A in pharmacology? I'm struggling and I think that's one of the main struggles of nursing students is pharmacology because it's hard. So I have found a resource for you guys. It's from NRSNG.com. I know if you watched my videos for a while you have heard me talk about them a lot but NRSNG.com has a MedMaster course that is so awesome. It has every single medication group, all the common medications, how they work, side effects, everything and it's all videoed and there's a voiceover and there's pictures and videos and it's just very concise. It's very easy to follow and I wish I had that when I was studying pharmacology because pharmacology was so so so hard for me and I know it's hard for a lot of you guys. So if you guys are interested in checking out the MedMaster course I will leave a link down below for it. Also NRSNG.com has a lot of other great resources like a MedSurge review, they have EKG courses, they have lab values, all these like main topics that we know we have to cover in nursing school so they're really really great. I recommend you check them out. Let me know if you guys have any questions in the comments below. Make sure you give this video a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel and I'll see you next time. Bye.
