Description
This course is tailored to meet the needs of nursing students, nursing professionals, allied health professionals, and students in the health sciences, including those preparing for the NCLEX, as well as pre-pharmacy and pre-medical students. Whether you're just beginning your healthcare journey or looking to deepen your understanding of medications, this course offers a comprehensive yet accessible approach to pharmacology.We'll cover essential concepts like pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safe medication administration, while exploring how these principles relate to the body's systems, including the nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and endocrine systems. You'll also gain a deeper understanding of medications used for common disease states. This course is designed to help you make critical connections between physiology, pathophysiology, and the therapeutic use of medications.To support your learning, we've included a range of study tools, including detailed articles, cheat sheets, quizzes, and links to additional resources. These materials are crafted to help you solidify your knowledge and provide quick references for key pharmacological concepts.
