Understanding Pharmacology essentials is such an important component in nursing school as medication management is critical in caring for a patient! 

Although pharmacology sometimes feels overwhelming….don’t worry, our pharmacology course provides you with videos, audio, handouts, and pharmacology study guides to meet all learning styles!

Start with Module 1 and work your way through the course. When you are studying a specific medication go directly to the mp3 for that med. If you are covering a class of medications, watch the lecture over that class. Soon, as you work through the modules you will find that pharmacology is becoming second nature.
