 Hey guys, so in today's video, I'm going to be talking about how to study for pharmacology because Pharmacology is one of if not the hardest course in nursing school and it was difficult for me I almost got to be in pharmacology, which is not the end of the world if you get a B or a C It's not the end of the world But for me, I was a straight A student and to be so close to getting a B I was like so nervous and anxious taking that course the entire time and It was just probably not good for my overall help how stressed I was But anyways, I ended up getting an A in pharmacology So I'm going to tell you my study tips and some study tips that I recommend for you guys when studying pharmacology So the first thing is to take really really good notes in class whether you type them or hand write them out Find a study method that works for you and stick with it because the more you bounce around between study methods Then you just don't have like a solid plan and it can lead to errors and missing things So have a solid study method when studying pharmacology The next thing that I did is after each class I would go home and whatever medications we studied I would hand write them out and make like a very colorful handwritten study guide and I would hand write it all out study it a bunch a bunch a bunch a bunch and then Once I was finished with the study guide, I would go back and I would hand write it again from memory So I would make sure that I could understand every single thing to the point where I could verbalize it explain it Write it out sing it dream it you name it I can knew the information forwards and backwards. That's another thing It's really important to be able to know information forwards and backwards So if I say, you know, what are beta blockers you should be able to tell me what beta blockers are versus if I said what's a medication that Reduces the workload on the heart by slowing the heart rate down it lowers the blood pressure It works with the beta agonist or whatever. I'm actually not super sure if that's even right But you know, I mean you should be able to recognize information forwards and backwards not just studying it one Direction because on the test you need to be able to know it forwards and backwards and analyze it the next tip that I have and I wish I had this in nursing school because what made my pharmacology class so much easier is the Med master course by nrs and g.com I've talked about it a lot because that's because I really really believe in it And I really think it's wonderful for you guys and such a great resource and I really wish everyone it would you know Know how great of a resource it is so that's why I talk about it so much But basically the med master course gives you all of like the main medications and not just the main medications They give you tons of medications But they have videos for each medication that breaks it down into how it works How what are the side effects? What are the indications? Why are we using it? I mean all everything but it's very broken down and simplified and easy to follow and it's video in a voiceover So that way you could follow along if you're a visual learner or whatever type of learner You are it hits all of those main points and it's it's really really great And I highly highly recommend it if you're interested in it the link will be down below So check it out also nrcg.com has a bunch of other great resources to make sure you check those out as well But yeah, that is what I did to study for pharmacology and what I recommend I wish I still had my nursing school notes and everything that I could like pull up and show you guys like all of the Writing I did seriously when I threw away a bunch of stuff I had probably a stack that I'm actually sitting on the ground right now So it was like above my head and all of this Paperwork and notes that I had taken and printed out and assignments and all of that and I didn't save it because I don't really need it But I guess I maybe I showed up. I don't know but anyways water under the bridge Thank you guys for watching this video make sure you give it thumbs up and subscribe to my channel And I'll see you guys next time. Bye
