Pharmacology In Nursing School: HOW TO Study, Tips, My Experience!

[@shaneeh9361]

Your tips got me an 100 on my first Pharm test 💪🏼

[@keonamonae2290]

I became an LPN the first time around I watched your videos as you uploaded them. Now I’m back in RN school and I searched for you girl lol!! I’m back again and stuck❤❤❤

[@megankranz1312]

I just got accepted to nursing school for the fall! I'm so nervous but so excited!

[@irisdeguzman4887]

Megan Kranz me too!😊

[@pinkiepromises]

Iris De Guzman me three! Congrats to you both! 😊

[@brooklyntaylor3944]

Me too!! ❤❤

[@cassiemims9910]

Me too girl!! I cant wait!

[@HolleyGabrielle]

CONGRATULATIONS, MEGAN!!!! SO exciting:) You will love it!

[@jessicabiehl5562]

Keep pushing through girl! Always impressed with your ability to balance life, don't lose that! Passed my boards last month and currently going through orientation at my first job, all of the work will be worth it sooner than you think 😚👩🏼‍⚕️

[@HolleyGabrielle]

OMG SO EXCITING CONGRATULATIONS

[@ricky4291]

Watch Professor Fink's pharmacology playlist on youtube. I'm not even in nursing school yet and I'm way ahead of everyone!

[@mrstorrie812]

Ive done that too!!! I start pre reqs in January and Ive started studying math and anatomy already.

[@nurseharvey560]

I love Professor Fink!! I took his Physiology class at West L.A. and it was my favorite science class, I’ve taken all the RN pre-req classes so that says a lot. He makes learning so easy.

[@sharnecethomas90]

Thank u!

[@Toliverforcongress]

How many videos do they have? Is it a series?

[@shyannwatson9520]

You will forever be my favorite KZbinr. Love hearing your tips to the madness! I start Practical Nursing school August 14th and I'm currently losing my mind. Thank you for calming my nerves as I sit here at 12:30 am watching nursing school videos! Love you and your motivation.

[@amberdeere2709]

You're one semester ahead of me which is perfect because you always update after the class with helpful tips hahahaha I love it

[@HolleyGabrielle]

Hahaha yes that is very convenient! Glad I can help!

[@JinetNC]

I failed pharmacology the first class I've ever failed in my life... it sucks that I'm behind my cohort and that I failed because of 1 point... but were studying to save a patient not for a test. It sucks that I have to see the same professor very embarrassing but I'm sure it'll make me a better nurse :)

[@HolleyGabrielle]

Shit happens! You will get through it and yes - 100% be an amazing nurse!

[@mrstorrie812]

You can do it!

[@jubjub2219]

JinetNC I am going through the same thing. I found that we just have to be optimistic. I was lacking passion for learning in my first semester after a very heavy past semester. I'm behind my cohort as well and everyone is starting their clinicals this semester however I will be starting two semesters after them.

[@ivoncastro485]

Same situation i am so stressed because of pharmacology

[@trenisamiller9093]

Hi, how did you guys get over that pharmacology class?

[@lisar.2549]

This is helpful, thanks. I just finished pharm (prerequisite) and it was the hardest class I’ve ever taken. The color coding is helpful, charts, and lists of drugs in each class, repetition, anything to get those names in your head! Your honest representation of how many things you did to do well shows that it is difficult (but can be done). 😃

[@MKatCatMom]

My pharmacology class is online and I hate it. I spend more time having tech issues and cramming homework in before the due date that I feel like I'm not learning. Thanks for all the tips! :)

[@jaelyn9205]

My univ breaks up pharm in 2 semesters. Just finished pharm 1 (aka the basics), and so nervous to start pharm 2. This video helped so much!! I had no idea how I was gonna study all these meds, but LOOOVE your organization & studying skills. Thank you so much!

[@andreaswells1712]

jaelyn 15 I wish our school did this

[@samanthakennedy5126]

just starting PA school pharm and its so nice finding your old video on studying! Thank you Holley!

[@annaappel2852]

I have my pharm final (worth 50%) this coming Thursday! Thanks for the tips!

[@HolleyGabrielle]

Good luck, girly!

[@Paulfrankmeg]

thank you holley for making these videos! I'm in the process of reapplying to nursing schools so I really appreciate all the insight you have been sharing. I absolutely love your kind&genuine spirit and I'm so stoked to see you continue doing amazing things in your nursing journey. hope you're having an amazing summer!

[@woeitsgracie]

Thank you so much for all the advice. I got an 80 on my first exam!!!

[@sharnecethomas90]

I have never been so nervous but so ready to go to nursing school. I love this video

[@dramaqueen2451]

Your videos are so great. I love how honest you are about your experience ( I also did borderline this past semester in patho) and I have pharm this upcoming semester!! So this video helped a lot thank you!

[@daniellecoffey4039]

My mind works the same way. I survived my first semester by writing, typing, & rewriting. That’s the only way it sticks!

[@xoxmimixoxlove]

I love your study tips! I'm a respiratory therapy student and I feel like I can totally apply these tips to my studying !

[@Barbie4wido]

Can you please share your study guide!? It Looks good

[@briannehimes2584]

I'm not going to lie your video just scared me to death and no I'm way more nervous for school!! I got accepted for the fall semester😭😭 this was very helpful though!!!!!

[@HolleyGabrielle]

Don't be scared, babe! It is very difficult but completely doable!

[@stitchedscorpio]

I just got accepting into my nursing program and I’m so excited to start in the fall! I have pharm first semester and I’m so glad you made this video!!

[@Jennnxoh35]

Sammi sullivan how was it?!?

[@lawanajohnston6405]

Love your videos! I find it interesting hearing about nursing school and how different it seems to be structured compared to over here in Australia

[@lawanajohnston6405]

LoveLuna mine is the same except for intro A&P, advanced A&P and Human patho they all had end of term exams with one written assignment it's crazy her pharmacology also seemed a bit more about learning and the drugs themselves where as we mainly focused on the drug categories and how they work in the body

[@ashleygher9325]

Thanks Holl-doll!! :) I love how organized you are! Thanks for the great tips. Super excited (and nervous) to start pharm and patho this fall! Good luck with your semester!

[@HolleyGabrielle]

Thanks, Ashley! I appreciate you and your consistent comments! I SEE YOU GIRL

[@shelbylynn4965]

I'm in semester 3/5 & already finished pharm, however I think using this organization and study technique will really help with my other classes. Glad I saw this !

[@s.herrera9440]

Loved this video! Starting pharm and fundies in August! I'm super nervous but this definitely helps! Thank you and congrats on passing your classes and getting through!

[@HolleyGabrielle]

Thanks girl! Good luck to you!

[@marandaryan]

When I took pharm, I didn't realize how important just focusing on the drug class was! I got bogged down trying to study every single individual drug. I still passed with a B, but I could have made it a lot easier on myself lol. So funny how we can recall info just by remembering what color we used in our notes! That def helps me too!

[@HolleyGabrielle]

Yes omg! I would focus on drugs too at first, but eventually learned that drug classes are way more important!

[@trenisamiller9093]

How to study pharmacology on the classes?

[@Rhondamuzik1]

hey holley! yes, plz do more nursing videos. its very helpful and informative for me personally bcuz I'm in the process of doing prerequisite courses to enter into an accelerated nursing program. however, i really enjoyed watching this video bcuz ill know what to expect when taking pharmacology. keep up the good work and look forward to you posting a video when you graduate!

[@_jessicaa.louisee]

Missed you girly! I'm glad you're enjoying your summer! 😍

[@liitsoi]

wow thank you for posting this video. i'm nervous to take pharm, i heard its the hardest class ever. i will take your tips into consideration. and good luck to you on your upcoming semester!

[@wmedinaful]

I start pharmacology next fall but I want to start getting familiar with the class and how to study because everyone says its the hardest class in nursing school. So, I want to get prepared. Thanks so much for the tips!

[@HolleyGabrielle]

You are so welcome!

[@cassiemims9910]

Thank you for posting this video!! I start nursing school in August and we dont do pharm until second semester (they do 2 semesters for pharm because the pair it with pathophyis), I feel like I am going to need all the help I can get! I have to rewrite things to make it stick so I think these tips are going to really help. Thanks girl

[@HolleyGabrielle]

Good luck to you, Cassie!!!!

[@lydiaonlyandforever]

Thank you for the video! I've been watching so many pharmacology nursing videos. I start my second semester of nursing in a week and I'll be taking pharmacology this semester. So I'm trying to prepare myself because I'm also taking Med Surge I and I know they will be the hardest classes this semester. I'm really going to work ahead this semester and breath!

[@indialarae1650]

I dropped pharmacology in the Spring . I'll be taking it again . I will pass this semester !!!!!

[@abigaillarson3653]

I was so happy to see your video!! You rock!! Btw your snap stories crack me up.

[@HolleyGabrielle]

Hahaha thank you:))))) #SnapChatFam

[@danig9495]

proud of you ! Sounds like its extremely hard and you are very dedicated .

[@jillian5667]

I've been in summer school selfishly waiting for you and all of my other favorite YT nursing students to start back! This was great to get me ready for pharm. I have to stay on top of it! I start med surg I, psych, and pharm on the 22nd! It was the 21st but they pushed back the first day for the eclipse! Thanks for the video :)

[@dcarranco]

holy mother. i had pharm and med surg as one class. psych was separate on it's own for 5 wks. good luck

[@HolleyGabrielle]

Yay! Good luck girl!

[@kaylajohnson4619]

LOVE the nursing school videos/tips. I'm hoping to be accepted for next fall and these videos will be so great to look back on for advice. :)

[@HolleyGabrielle]

Exciting!!! Good luck girl!

[@destineyosterhout5828]

Yaaass!! I've been waiting. I start pharm this fall! 🙂

[@HolleyGabrielle]

You can do it girl! Thanks for the support xoxox

[@kristenjessome4365]

This just made me feel so much better about going into Pharm in the fall!!

[@josettemusic]

I'm terrified for Nursing School.......Ugh I'm excited though, lol!

[@HolleyGabrielle]

BE EXCITED

[@ambiyofarah151]

I love your energy. This was so helpful 🤗🤗🤗

[@HolleyGabrielle]

Awww thank you so much! Appreciate that!

[@angelinaramos1831]

Holy cow, this just made me so nervous. I start nursing school on Monday! Thanks for this video, I feel like it's helping me get mentally prepared.

[@RobynMcMullen]

you’re so beautiful 💕💕 i have a nursing channel as well and i love yours! I love finding other nurse vloggers like myself. You give your subscribers a great look into the nursing field💕 keep up the good work love

[@Murdaa14]

BSN student here in Las Vegas!!! I start pharm in September, so thanks for the study tips! ☺️

[@HolleyGabrielle]

I LOVE VEGAS! Good luck, Karen!! :)

[@lustbarbie3465]

How did pharm go?

[@jasminbarrera1072]

I have always switched between writing and typing my notes but the ideas of doing both although time consuming is a really good idea 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@taylorchavana9084]

We have an ATI test over that book this semester and I'm so scared because everyone says that that exam will make or break you for the semester. 😅 thank you so much for your tips!! Ill definitely pay attention to the drug class content and watch for matching suffixes. I ordered these giant pharm phlash cards I found on amazon with lots of content and pictures so I hope that helps too!

[@emmamach3167]

Please can you upload a downloadable version of that study guide?!?!

[@Kellydarling13]

You're lucky you got the summer off! We got stuck with OB, Mental Health, and Informatics this summer. We finish up finals this week but HOLY MESS do I want to die. Cramming those classes in 8 weeks was seriously the hardest thing ever.

[@HolleyGabrielle]

NO DOUBT IN MIND! Kudos to you girlfran!

[@kaylajohnson8978]

Taking Pharm and Funds right now and these videos are SO helpful! 🙏🏻

[@danieldoyle6586]

Absolutely love your channel been watching for about four or five months and I've got to say your like one of the best channels out there, I'm starting my BSN in child nursing in sept. It's weird we specialise before we go into uni it's Scotland 😂😂 I was wondering if you have thought about making a video on male nurses and what your experience is ? Again love the videos ❤️

[@HolleyGabrielle]

My boyfriend is in school with me so I will see what I can do!

[@taylorbrothers3683]

my pharm class is a self-taught class!! we are assigned readings each week and we are teaching ourselves pharm while in funds :(

[@fortheloveofladyv]

I start Monday as a medical assistant

[@John-dd2nx]

Wow this video was awesome! I copied your link to all my classmates! This was so helpful.

[@simplyjay07]

I agree with funds being more difficult then pharm. I went into this quarter thinking the opposite. I'm taking them both at the same time and passing both with a B. Fingers crossed that I keep it that way with finals coming up.

[@christinee9168]

Hey girl wanna slide that study sheet over? 👀 😂😂❤️ much love. I just got accepted into my nursing program can’t wait to start!

[@joshuawright7709]

Thank you so much for this video! I'm starting pharm in about 2 weeks. There are like 12 people that are joining my cohort because they failed it last semester. So yeah, I'm a little nervous

[@jennifercampos9815]

Love your tips and study methods! We use similar methods as well! And that's the same textbook we use as well! So awesome that you're instructor gave you the book!

[@yaraabdeljabbar3269]

You're the best I just love all of your videos! ❤❤

[@sharnaebassaragh4198]

I'm doing pharmacology next semester 🙂 so thanks for the tips! 🙏🏻

[@HolleyGabrielle]

Thank you:)))

[@louisegrigg1118]

[@rislanba]

Hello! Great stuff. Very helpful I will do the binder classification organization thingy. Can you up load that study guide you showed in the beginning of the video? Many thanks

[@sabrinali7044]

I am really terrified of pharmacology. I am starting it next semester and your tips really motivated me so thanks!😊

[@derri143]

I had to watch this twice (before the semester started and during the semester lol). But thank you!! This video is very helpful :)

[@sammiels12]

My program doesnt do a pharmacology course anymore, they are just integrating it into all of the courses.

[@mrstorrie812]

That sounds like its easier to digest. I think my school does that too but I'm not sure.

[@iluvme9697]

You're videos are so helpful! Thank you!

[@ashleycole_rn]

I've been waiting for a nursing video 😂lol. I made it to the interview phase, and have my nursing school interview this Wednesday!

[@HolleyGabrielle]

Good luck!!!

[@jacklynzapata1574]

Wow u go girl! That's so much info

[@shahbijalk]

Super thank you for making this study tips video. 😊

[@n.summers3829]

Wonderful Video! Thank you so much for making these wonderful videos!

[@AshJ2203]

Man I wish my school required a 75. Our school the lowest you can get is an 80. I got a D on my first pharm test semester and it was the lowest D at a 76 percent....needless to say I found your video cause I need inspiration on how to study for pharm 😔

[@theintrovertednurse]

What size binder did you use for Pham and/ or fundamentals. Prepping for my first semester and I love the way you organized your notes.

[@yellabelly125]

Holley you are my whole life 🖤

[@HolleyGabrielle]

hahahahahah much love Ashley

[@yellabelly125]

[@iselaruiz898]

Thank you!

[@stephanieschlick8549]

Hey girl! I absolutely love you videos. I'm starting my nursing program in less than a month and I'm definitely excited and nervous. Do you have any good tips for motivating yourself to keep health and fitness of a high importance? I love to workout and do it almost everyday during summer, but during school I notice that when I become tired and stressed out I make every excuse such as needing to study to not workout and eat right? Just thought I'd ask to see if you have any really good ways to balance school as well as health and fitness ? Thanks girly :)

[@djplunkett3565]

Where is your polka dot notebook from?

[@LivingMyBestLynnzy]

I needed this last semster, at TTU Traditional BSN we only have four semsters (tri-year semesters) and they hit us with Pharm right off. We use ATI 10.0 edition, in L1 we had Core/Fundimentals, Pharm, Integrated Learning 1, and Health promotion. We ended up having seven exams for Pharm and one ATI final. What helped me a ton was using flashcards. We were told that it is expected for us to study 40 hours a week and mine was planned out to be roughly 30 hours pharm and 10 hours the other three haha. Side note: I love your mom on Snapchat!

[@HolleyGabrielle]

Flashcards are helpful for sure! Hahaha my mom is my favorite

[@karianne9518]

I need a 85% test average in fundamentals to pass. Anything under that is failing :(((

[@jillian5667]

Yikes. Mine is 80% and I thought that was tough!

[@HolleyGabrielle]

DANG!

[@nelsonrodriguez9974]

Kari Anne i need a 65 lol wrf 85 thats crazy

[@desireehouston1044]

Me too 😭

[@XxNannerCremexX]

I just took my ATI TEAS I get my scores tomorrow I am oh so nervous! I love all your videos and enjoy being able to see what I will hopefully will be going through soon!

[@nataliegeorge738]

This helps so much! Your so inspiring!!!

[@HolleyGabrielle]

Thanks so much, Natalie!

[@zhanehoward4699]

You are so organized! I wish I was that organized 😂 Just finished my 2nd semester this summer...start my third semester in 2 weeks ! 😊

[@nurset7464]

I will be starting nursing school on September and I'm so excited! During your first semester what classes did you take? I love your videos & thanks for your help Holley

[@sophiahobson2742]

I love your videos! I was wondering if you've thought about making one specifically about clinical rotations, I start clinicals in September and couldn't be more excited/nervous!

[@HolleyGabrielle]

Yes ma'am!!! I can do that!

[@cristinasantillan548]

I start my senior year on August 21 also

[@HolleyGabrielle]

#Twinning

[@kaylejocastle]

can you give a closer look at your pharm notes? picture maybe? also an update since you've been a nurse for a year?

[@aubrieshelton8039]

I personally love quizlet! I used it in high school and it’s been saving my butt ever since! You can take practice quizzes, take multiple choice tests, look at flash cards, all based on what you type into the study set!

[@iheartunc]

I love the videos about nursing school! I start my RN program in two weeks. Where did you get your pen organizer?

[@brittanyalicia7241]

This class is coming up for me in a few months.....this video was sooooooo helpful!

[@monyettascott8050]

I start next week with school.. how would you prepare for pharm if it’s your first time ?

[@icyfyah7862]

I'm in nursing school and we have an exam every single week along with clinical's. I am in my 2nd semester of core classes and I have never seen such horrible grades in my academic career. I'm becoming discourage as I do not have enough time to study due to the condense courses. Apparently, this is new to the college I attend, and I don't know what to do at this point. I graduated 4 years ago with an Associates of Applied Science so since I have enough pre-requisite credit to enroll for only 3 semesters to get a LPN License I thought this was a smart way to go but not with this particular program at least not for me. I guess I would like to know, if I pass I only have one more semester but any study tips would greatly be appreciated. Thanks for posting!!!

[@jhakiaay]

Hi Do you still have your pharmacology binder?

[@MallieAnn13]

Have a pharm test next week and I'm procrastinating by watching this 😅

[@HolleyGabrielle]

study woman!

[@Abmarp]

Mercy

[@lorenaesquivel5100]

Any advice for someone who is taking pharm and patho at the same time???

[@HolleyGabrielle]

PLAN PLAN PLAN. I would make a very strict study schedule seperating the two subjects!

[@Abmarp]

Mercy

[@abbyknoner9647]

Can you do more videos about how you study for the different classes related to the nursing program

[@bdougherty2]

I just found your channel and I've been binging on all of your videos!! Totally random, but do you have a spray tan in this video or do you tan in the tanning bed? Your tan is beautiful!

[@bethanymoon1285]

Any tips on learning pharm when my college doesn’t have a pharm teacher and it’s only offered online?

[@laurenanne3558]

Bethany Moon My school only offers it online too!! My first Exam is in less than three weeks over 5 chapters and I’m so nervous

[@amykins812]

Re-writing it my top tip personally! I have notebooks full of rewritten notes!

[@mceveryday6517]

I live in Iowa as well, they added a CNA course to Valley High School that is a year long! Is there anything I should know before? Also do they choose where you work after? If not, how do you know which nursing home is the best?

[@tia.thecreator]

You should link that packet sis we need it😂😭💕
