 Save hours on your clnical prep November 23, 2008

Every person in my clinical group went out and bought these cards. Before, we all spent 3-6 hours just writing out our drugs cards by hand the night before clinical. These cards have 3 times the info that you can fit written by hand. Just search for your drug in the index, and it'll tell you what number cards your drug is on... then take those cards out put them in the convenient plastic card holder that comes with it (I've fit about 35-40 cards in it every week)and take it to clinical right in your pocket. This set also come with an helpful CD rom.

I am an ADN student and these make preparing for clinical so much easier! I used to spend hours writing down 10 or more of my pt. drugs for the next day. Just look in the index, then draw the right card and your done. What took me hours now takes mere minutes.
Perfect for Nursing Students! January 24, 2009

I just received these cards and started working on my med sheets. It is going so much smoother than using a bulky drug book! I am a second year nursing student and have tried to find ways to save time. These cards definitely will help! A mini disk is even included! These are spendy, but get a friend to split the cost; one can use the cards and the other the disk! I also signed up for Amazon Prime and got free 2 day shipping! I just cancelled the prime membership immediately. I wasn't charged anything and I got the one month membership for free! Good luck!
