[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 340260, member: 84"] Judi This was to be a class taught for 2 hrs twice a week in the classroom. Instructors let students vote, and told them classroom was no different than online, and the vote turned it into a hybrid class. So basically it's online. All we've done up to this point in the classroom is take our exams. We have 1 day a week in class. The book we're using is Pharmacology for Nurses A pathophysiologic Approach By Michael Patrick Adams, Leland Norman Holland, Jr, and Paula Manuel Bostwick. And I know for a fact the instructor is testing us out of last years edition which is different from the one we're using. I'm trying to get my hands on that edition. easy child is asking students she has for clinical if any of them have any to sell. As I've said before........I think this is a class that ought to be taught in a classroom. At least for the first quarter when you're trying to get the hang of how to study this stuff. The class is kicking themselves now for voting for the hybrid. I didn't vote. It was a day I was absent last quarter.:raspberry-tounge: Maybe you can answer one question for me. I was told that studying the prototype drugs for each classification and really knowing them was the key to knowing the rest of the drugs in the same class. You know for adverse effects, contraindications ect. That while the not all the drugs in a class necessarily have all things in common, they do have the majority in common. This is why they give you a prototype for each classification. That's what the instructor said. And easy child agreed. But if that's the case, it's not working. I do that......and the instructor will seem to pick some obscure adverse effect or something and put it in a question every time. And usually it's one I either didn't notice in the reading or didn't know well enough to have it pop into my head. So of course I miss the question. And for the insulins this didn't work at all. They're all too different for their durations and peaks and such.......so I didn't really see the point to having prototypes for those...... Oh, and most of the time the book doesn't even list the pharmacokinetics of the non prototype drugs in the different classes that aren't the prototype.......but she will have questions with that information. Maybe I just misunderstand the whole thing with the prototype drugs. lol I dunno.:knockedout: But I plan to have a long list of questions ready for her on thursday.
