I am excited to bring to you the NURSING.com SOCK Method, with proven tips to help you master pharmacology. When I surveyed 200 nursing students, 66% said that their most difficult subject was nursing pharmacology. However, the issue is often overlooked.
There are a lot of schools that don't have dedicated pharmacology courses and instead roll it up into other parts of the program. But that is devastating to me because the one thing we do more than almost anything else in our careers as nurses is give medication.
So today I'm gonna introduce you to something called the SOCK Method for mastering nursing pharmacology. We are doubling down on our focus on pharmacology in this podcast. After listening to this, I am confident that you will be able to become a master of nursing pharmacology.
