    Description
    PHARM 003 is a course tailored to nursing students who are just beginning their journey into the world of pharmacology or who seek to refresh or remediate pharmacology. Throughout this course, we'll dive into the essential terminology and concepts of pharmacology, explore different drug categories and their uses, understand how drugs work (mechanism of action), learn about various dosage forms and calculations, explore different routes and principles of drug administration, and become familiar with common generic and trade names. Additionally, we'll cover important nursing considerations, including how to effectively teach patients about their medications.
