I decided last week to take a copy of my 2011 Lippincott Williams Drug Handbook into the hospital with me, and ask my nurse preceptor to star all the antihypertensive drug she works with on a regular basis.
My preceptor transitions daily between the Med Surg, Tele, and Stroke units.
The orange meds I feel like I've seen the most. Especially metoprolol.
Try to be familiar with some of these before going into MEDSURG I if you can.
If not then try to learn them little by little while you're in MEDSURG.
