Product Description

300 flashcards featuring medications with their drug categories, pronunciations, and common names on one side, with their side effects and nursing considerations on the back.

The NCLEX-RN exam is a computer-adaptive test with between 75 and 265 questions. Most items are 4-option multiple-choice, but some require test takers to click on part of an image, “select all (options) that apply,” drag and drop answer choices into the correct order, or type an answer into a box (free response). Test takers have a maximum of six hours to complete the exam.

Customer Reviews

Extremely unhelpful
Basically, this product is too simple. It only tells you the drug name then some of the side effects, then some REALLY POINTLESS nursing consideration information. I really expected more from Kaplan, seeing as how so many recommend them, but I was very disappointed by this product. Save your money and write your own review cards from your pharmacology textbook. It'll be so much more help than these ever would be.

Would recommend
Helpful because of the organization and repetition. Although I went through these cards once, the drugs were organized by class, which usually meant the signs, symptoms, and nursing considerations were the same. Because of this, it allowed for me to flash and repeat, and thus memorize. I would recommend going through these at least once before the NCLEX, making a note of the ones you have trouble with. Thankfully, I went over the optical medications before the NCLEX, in which I never learned in the first place and I had a couple optical questions on the exam, among several others. But, I would recommend going through medications from what you're comfortable with first and then these cards. Yes, I passed the NCLEX.

Too much info
The cards had too much information on them that I did not need for the NCLEX. I found books on medications that were much more helpful. I did pass the NCLEX but did not study from these and I'm glad I did not waste much time with them.
