Passed NCLEX with NGN in 85 questions. Cathy & Maris were a huge help through my entire journey. The complete flashcard set was def. one of the best investments I made, others jumped on them too once they saw mine. Just wanted to say thanks again helping so many people, like myself.
Did you ever get a chance to take the old NCLEX if you did how would you compare it to new gen? Congratulations 🎉🍾
those opioid use disorders drugs basically cause the same side effects of actual opioids. how does it actually help?
Hi nurse Cathy. I am a little confused since you said that Disulfiram is not used for alcohol withdrawal. Is Disulfiram not given as a maintenance medication for alcohol withdrawal then? or is it?
Me and my friends used to”DAN the alcoholic” to remember the drugs for alcohol addiction maintenance.
Hi Cathy!! First I want to thank you greatly for all of your videos!! You have saved me this semester, I just discovered you a couple of months ag0; I am in my 3rd semester. I am just so greatly for you!!!! 🙂 Secondly, I had a hint for remembering Buprenorphine and methadone. So for Buprenorphine – I use the trick Bupre-"no"-phine – like "no" more morphine. and for Methadone I use the trick "metha-don't" – since it helps with withdrawal. 🙂 Thank you again for everything !
I'm beginning my Masters of Social Work program in January – mental health concentration. Pharmacology will be a part of my course study. Could I use the flash cards too? Or is this only beneficial for nursing students?
Thank u!
