Hating a lot of parts of pharmacology

Hating a lot of parts of pharmacology

Please tell me I only need to memorize this stuff for the test to pass this class and won’t need to really use it in the field. Semi-freaking out because I generally am great with dosages and drug calculations/interactions/contraindications. But these nitty gritty parts about anti-cholinergics, alpha-andrenergics, beta1, beta2, etc etc etc. it’s just not clicking with my brain. How much of this is actually on the NCLEX? And how much of this is used in day-to-day nursing?

Anyone have some tips or resources for pharmacology? It’s so much dense information, I feel like my brain is not big enough lol. Trying not to lose motivation. Mostly this is a vent post 🥺

Liiiike, sorry if this is rude to say, but there’s a reason I’m in nursing school and not med school 😅

Help name the kitten we found yesterday so I have something to write down at the vet today!

Pretty sure he’s a boy, but kind of hard to tell! He is so smol, maybe 3 weeks (canines are coming in and his eyes look like they opened recently). We go to the vet in a few hours and I need something to write on the intake form lol. We currently have all boy cats: Bean, Odin, Boo, and Miso. We really like short and cute names. Maybe food inspired.

Here are the names I’ve thought of so far, but am definitely open to new suggestions:
Oddish (like the Pokémon, stolen from Reddit)
Vesper
Lupin
Yoda (because of his ears)
Dobby (also because of his ears)
Mushroom/shroom
Enoki (a type of mushroom)
