    About two years ago my closest friend passed away. As I sat at her bedside in the hospital I was shocked to see her in that stricken position. I wondered why was this happening to her?Why was she suffering needlessly? Since I was the age of 16, I have had the desire to help others. It first started with my neighbor Cheryl Conel. Cheryl was an intimately close neighbor of mine who I used to work for. As the years went by Cheryl and I became closer and our friendship strengthened considerably. She became my first strong female role model. Cheryl became very ill one day and learned that she had a Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection. This bacteria presented very suddenly and quickly caused her to lapse into a coma. I didn't understand at the time just how ill she was-- in my mind I thought she was going to recover and go home soon. I quickly learned that this bacteria is very difficult to eradicate and about a week later on December 9th 2009, Cheryl passed away. I was extremely devastated because I had just lost my mentor and my best friend. I wanted to learn mo...

    I enjoyed taking this class. I did not know what to expect at first, but this class has proven to be challenging and very informative. I have learned a lot about the pharmacological principle of different drugs, which I will use in my practice as a family nurse practitioner. Each week we were given different case study, which we had to find a differential diagnosis based on our patient’s sign and symptoms and also choose the correct pharmacological agent to treat our patient. This was a time-consuming process to come up with the correct diagnosis and treatment. I learned about different pharmacological agents to treat different diseases. I also learned about different medication dosage, side effect and the mechanism of action for different drugs. I was introduced to a different database, such as Epocrates and Micromedex to look up different drugs. The case scenarios gave me the practice that I needed to become familiar with different medications, their action, dosage, side effect, adverse effect and their mechanism of action.

    I have been a register nurse for 15 years and feel comfortable with indications for many drugs, however I know that there are many other aspects of pharmacology that I have neglected throughout my nursing career. One of the expectations I have during my transition as an APRN is to become proficient in pharmacology. To achieve this expectation, I plan to master many of the pharmacology aspects that I have neglected since nursing school, such as pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. I realize that the indication for a drug and knowing common dosages is only a small portion of proscribing a medication, knowing how the drug functions and focusing on individual patient pros and cons is essential when prescribing a medication. Another goal I would like to gain from this course and my shift to prescribing medications, is knowledge of the appropriate resources I can use for pharmacology information in the clinical setting.
