Every drug class a nurse needs, organized by body system.
A calm, scannable reference for the pharmacology you're accountable for in clinical practice — and on the NCLEX.

167 disorders, system by system: what's going wrong, the medications prescribed (linked to this course), nursing interventions — and a scenario that walks how a real nurse thinks it through.
The mechanism-first course for medical students: receptors and channels, how drugs in a class differ, pharmacokinetics and why the classic adverse effects happen — cardiovascular, autonomics, renal, endocrine, reproductive so far.
