For students and faculty

Know the drug
before you hold the med.

Pharmacology games for nursing, respiratory, and allied health students — built by a respiratory therapist with fifteen years in acute and critical care. Drug classes and brand-to-generic recall, drilled until they are automatic.

Med-Surge

The meds are surging — hold the floor. Drug names fall down the screen and you file each one into its class before it hits the deck: SABA or LABA, DOAC or antiplatelet, paralytic or sedative. Brand or generic, the clock does not care which one it hands you. Six decks, five classes each. It starts easy. It does not stay easy.

// How Med-Surge Works

01 · Pick a Deck

Respiratory, Cardiac, Antibiotics, ICU Sedation, Psych, or Anticoagulation — five drug classes in each.

02 · File the Med

Names fall; sort each into its class before it lands. STAT triples the score, PRN slows the fall, ten in a row lights up Fever.

03 · Review the Misses

A missed dose names the generic and its class on the spot, and the stage-clear screen flags every class still worth reviewing.

Cohort Use

Running these with a class — assigning decks, tracking which drug classes a cohort keeps missing, or adding the medications your own pharmacology unit covers? Tell me what your program needs and I will build toward it. Faculty access is free.
