From Jon Haws, RN, Founder of NURSING.com:

Do you ever feel like learning pharmacology is like learning a foreign language? You’re not alone. I felt the same way in nursing school. I loved pharmacology, but trying to keep thousands of medications, contraindications, and assessment information straight was impossible. That’s when I realized I didn’t need to know every medication. I needed to focus on the most important ones and truly understand them. That’s how 140 Must Know Meds was born—to give you a focused, streamlined way to master the medications you actually need to know.

With this guide, you’ll gain confidence in your ability to safely administer medications, excel in pharmacology courses, and pass the NCLEX with ease.

Ethan K.
The investment in NURSING.com was the best decision I made as a second-career nursing student. They helped me focus on what’s truly important for exams and clinical practice. My favorite feature is the "cheatsheets" that condense need-to-know information into quick reference guides.
Sophia N.
As a visual and auditory learner struggling with traditional textbooks, NURSING.com has been a godsend.

NURSING.com literally saved my nursing school experience. After bombing my first med-surg exam, I was ready to quit. Their site broke down complex topics into digestible chunks, and the practice questions helped me identify exactly what I needed to focus on. The cardiac series alone turned my grade from a D to an A-. Now I’m graduating with honors!
Emily R.
I cannot recommend NURSING.com enough for NCLEX preparation! After failing my first attempt, I signed up and focused on their SIMCLEX and qBank. The test-taking strategies and rationales for each question helped identify my weak areas. I passed in 85 questions on my second try! This platform gave me both knowledge and confidence.
Jasmine W.
As a first-semester nursing student feeling completely overwhelmed, Nursing.com has been my lifeline! The clear, concise lessons and visual learning tools helped me grasp complex concepts that my textbooks couldn’t explain. The NCLEX practice questions are spot-on for exam preparation. I’ve improved my grades by a full letter since subscribing!

Working full-time while in an accelerated BSN program seemed impossible until I found Nursing.com. The videos are perfectly chunked into manageable sections. Their pharmacology cheat sheets and memory tricks saved me countless hours of frustration. Worth every penny!
