Mosby's Pharmacology Memory NoteCards: Visual, Mnemonic, and Memory Aids for Nurses

I bought this because I was starting Med-Surg 1 and it turned out to be very explanatory and easy to remember! I showed some people in my class and a couple of them bought one as well (: The mnemonics are so cute and easy to remember along with the information on the back of the card being very straight to the point and easy to understand! It does not contain every medication out there obviously but the ones it does have are the medications and information that is mostly used, so for whatever subject you’re learning about, it’ll have the information about the most commonly used medications and administrations. Great notecards!

Great for visual learners. The front of each card comes with a cartoon illustration with funny dialogue that can make memorizing medications easier. The back of each card contains important information on drug classess such as: mode of action, uses, side effects, what to monitor for, and patient teaching. I love these flash cards! They're not too bulky. It's small enough to carry in a purse making it convenient to study on the go. It does not go over specific medications just the drug classes and it covers drug classes from every body system. I bought it new and recieved it sealed in plastic wrap.

When you start nursing school you get hit with a ton of information all at once. These cards were 100% helpful. The visuals and little comments on each page helped me to remember so many more drugs, not just what it is used for but side effects and routes as well. I would review the drugs on these cards, then read my text book and have such a greater grasp of the material. I loved these cards and will continue to use them. Only down fall is not all the drugs are in this little flip book. Totally worth the money though!

The Davis Drug Guide will always be my go to for IN-DEPTH med info, but so far, I am liking the Mosby's Pharm NoteCards. I am a nursing student and I'm using this to cement the information I learned in my nursing previous nursing courses and most recently taken pharmacology course (being that it was a 6-week summer course, we did not have enough time to go as in depth as I would have liked). Book is nicely sized to carry with you when you feel like studying on a whim, not sure you'd like in in your pocket at clinical though, nor is it easy to flip through. I do wish the specific medications were highlighted or bold, since they do tend to blend into the page (example: anti-hypertensives on information page; see picture #4) but I do like how it is specific to nursing care for a patient on these drugs. The cartoon drawings help, but sometimes they have little tid-bits that are there merely for humor. Don't waste my brain space! haha Nursing student problems :) It bugged me that no one had posted a picture of the book itself, so this is basically my motivation for the review. I will possibly update after the summer once I have had a solid chance to really read through it. Hope this helps!

I really like these as a way to review for the NCLEX. as a recent grad I am struggle to find the best review system and I found that these cards provide the relevant information needed to get things right on practice exams but in a fun, helpful way. would recommend!

Mosby’s is amazing! I cannot stress it enough. All their notecards are a must have in nursing school. This one is great for studying and trying to memorize all the meds you have to learn. Must have in nursing school!!!

I love this! This is how I study! I need pneumonic devices, drawings. I have hundreds of handmade flash cards, I write them out, hole punch ‘em, and put them on one of those metal rings from the dollar tree. Hundreds of cards and lots of time. I love it, honestly, because I get results. I remember everything this way, even if I’m barely paying attention when I’m flipping through the cards, they absorb and I can recall them later. I’M SO THANKFUL SOMEONE ELSE WROTE THESE CARDS FOR ME SO I DON’T HAVE TO, LOL. I was dreading doing the cards for Pharmacology and right now, I’m pretty confident these are gonna fit the bill for my “card learner” needs. They’re colorful, funny, and easy to flip. And they’re a little bigger than regular index cards, so no squinting. I’m really happy with this purchase!

I’ve just started pharmacology this semester and this is very helpful and breaks the information down that involves the most important parts of the drug. I also use other resources to help me understand pharmacology. But this is great to “break the ice” so-to-speak and get you thinking and putting things together.

I’ve been out of nursing practice for few years and I needed a concise drug information to recall everything, I found this pocket Pharmacology notes useful. It is colourful and allows me to remember drugs using their cute graphics. What I love most are the highlights because it guided me where to focus on my review. Moreover, I can study anywhere because it is handy and have durable pages. This book is an answer to my nclex review. Refer to photos.

Like this notecards so much and cannot even stop! It is so interesting and easy to follow👍

This pocket notecard came handy as I am preparing for my medicine management clinical placement. I have already recommended it to my friends.

This is a colorful and bright small pocket book of the medications we may encounter as a nurse. The medications are grouped together into areas and each section comes with explanations of use, side effects and contraindications. Overall a useful little book.

I like it. It provides simple and clear information.
