      I want to give the book more stars.. But format for generic & trade name is inconsistent (lower cases & capitalizations). There are typos - and common warning for Tetracycline is not included :( Needs work but great book once fixed.

    About the Authors

    Introduction

    This book is based on the Med of the Day Podcast and is part of the MedMaster Course (use coupon code "140MEDS" at MedMasterCourse.com to get 35% off lifetime membership).

    I remember my first day as a sophomore nursing student in Nursing Pharmacology. To say I was lost is an understatement. It was like someone had dropped me off in a completely foreign land with an incomprehensible language. When I entered nursing school the only real health care experience I had was working as a transporter in a large hospital. Pharmacology was new to me and I was terrified that I would never be able to grasp the lingo.

    The good news was my study partner had actually attended pharmacy school in India before coming to the United States to study nursing. The bad news was the Pharmacology makes up about 15% of the questions on the NCLEX® and I only had a semester to learn it!

    The next few months were spent intently studying and taking practice exams. During the course of taking countless practice exams I would jot down every medication that was tested. I also would jot down the fact about the specific medication or class that was being tested.

    This book is a compilation of the 140 must know meds for the NCLEX® and Nursing Pharmacology. These medications were the most tested. While the
