Hardly 20 drugs.

Agreed, we had about 20 or so drugs we had to memorize for first semester in nursing school. And just the dosages, not mechanism of action or parameters to check before administering? Seems a bit off... I'm in CA and I remember the only drugs we could either give or assist with for basics were O2, oral glucose, activated charcoal, ASA, Epi-Pen and Albuterol.

I forgot NTG, ASA, and O2. Still not 20 drugs but I could see how there could be 20 questions pertaining to those meds.

yeah i think its 20 drug related questions, dosages contraindications etc,,and not 20 drugs
 
...

PASSED THE FINAL !!!!!!!!

now i have to study up for the state exam
and find one to take (somewhere)
 
there were 20 questions exactly pertaining to drug dosages
mostly adult and peds but some contraindications and names

and 150 scenario based questions
my eyes need a rest from all the reading (studying) and then the test

i was in such a good mood that it didnt even bother me when mother nature dropped buckets on me on the drive home on my motorcycle

Normally it's best to take it soon after you finish the class. Because all the info is still fresh in your mind. I was able to take my national test the week before I graduated from my EMT class.
