Memorizing Pharmacology Mnemonics
Summary
This fast and easy pharmacology review through mnemonics recognizes that many future nurses, doctors, physician assistants, and pharmacists (chemists) have families, jobs, and other responsibilities. Do you have time enough time to make 100 percent sure you will pass in the classroom or on the board exam? For most students taking the NCLEX, NAPLEX, USMLE Step-1, PANCE, GPHC, or KAPS exam, the answer is no. I wrote this mnemonic guide as an audiobook first to help you remember pharmacology drug names and principles quickly. While in the classroom your professors might say memorization doesn't matter, but you can't bring outside material to the board exam, so for this test, you do need to work on memory training. You already know the consequences of failing a class or board exam, so let's make sure that doesn't happen by getting pharmacology organized in your head once and for all.

Crushing the Phase 2 Pharmacy Residency Match
Summary
If you’re reading this, it’s likely that either you didn't get an interview, or you feel "Residency Match Day" was one of the worst days of your life. However, there is, if you get an interview invitation, a one-in-five chance to still earn a residency position this year. That number goes up dramatically if you use some of the techniques in this book that puts you not only ahead of the game, but ahead of the curve. A successful phase-two match doesn’t come from luck, but from a series of correct steps that make your chance of matching much more likely. With only a few days between the results of the phase-one match and PhORCAS opening for applications, it’s better you listen to this book beforehand, as a “just in case”. While many will enter phase two, many cannot. Whether it is because you are place-bound with family, don’t see yourself in the narrowed group of options, or simply want to look for other opportunities, I’ve included a bonus chapter from Finding Your Unicorn Job: Financial Freedom, Flexible Hours, and Personal Fulfillment Beyond the Pharmacy Counter. Often I hear students say, “It’s not that I really want a residency; it’s that I don’t want to work in retail.” While I personally enjoyed community pharmacy, I understand. This book provides stories from many pharmacists who love their job. I know you didn’t match, and I respect that was a tough day. But what defines a person as a professional is what one does when one gets knocked down. I want to help you get up and get after it, and in this quick guide, you can.

Goodnight Pharm
Summary
I've had feedback from students that they just want me to read them drug names and mnemonics so they can put in their earbuds before they go to bed before their board exams. I've got three five year olds, I don't have time to do the heavy lifting you all do as narrators. In Memorizing Pharmacology: A Relaxed Approach, which will sell over 6,500 audiobook copies in its first year, I only had the narrator complete 200 drug names in a seven hour book. There is a list of 350 later in the book, but I thought, who in the world would want to listen to 350 drug names in a row? So I omitted it. There was an answer to that rhetorical question, health professional students studying for a board exam that are exhausted from family, work, and school want to listen to it.

How to Pronounce Drug Names
Summary
Can you remember, pronounce, and spell the active ingredient in the last medicine you took or gave your child? Administrators, are you sure every employee providing patients medicines can pronounce and spell them perfectly? If you have any doubt, whether you are listening to this book in a doctor's office, a pharmacy, or a hospital room, I wrote this book for you. A revolution is happening in health care. In the past, nurses, pharmacists, and doctors spoke together at length with families about their concerns and medicines. But now, patients receive only distracted attention as their health professionals tangle with billing, electronic records, and insurance obstacles. This shortened communication frustrates doctors and patients who want to connect. Patients find themselves isolated because they don't speak the language of medicine. This book teaches that language by translating medication names with plain English words.
