Pharmacology study tip number two for nursing school is to learn the generic name of the medication, not the trade name. Now, this is something that a lot of nursing students may not know. Is that the generic name of the medication? There's only one of them. And the NCLEX and your nursing school exams will use that generic name always on the exams, but they might not use the trade names. So it is so important for you to know the generic name of the medication because if you just know the trade name then and they don't use that name on your exam, then that is not good news for you, right? You might not recognize what the drug is if you only know the trade names. But then they use the generic name on the exam. So make sure that you know the generic name because they will always use that generic name on the exam. They may or may not use the trade name.
