Study Stack

[Guest guest]

Dear ,

You are most welcome!

Study Stacks should be made by the student him/herself for best retention and

accuracy.

Some of the work that students from various schools have done are in correct.

For this reason I suggested a LOCK on the stacks. The owner did make such a

lock. I suggest that you lock your stacks so that only you can change/edit them.

Otherwise you risk others altering them.

In additionif you plan to study another stack that someone else has made t hen

you MUST check it for accuracy otherwise you run the risk of learning incorrect

information: worse yet turning that into a medication error later.

So SAVE LIVES and save time, lock your own stacks!

Which " stacks " would you recommend most? There are so many and I have

no idea which ones to look at! Thanks for your help!

Dear mgb3456,

NONE!!!

I highly recommend that you MAKE your OWN study stacks!

Why?

1. Because while you are doing it you are creating an experience!

We all know we learn best by experience!

2. Because others before you who have made stacks may have made an

error or two or three or four....! And you would continue to study

and memorize errors or incorrect trade/generic pairs. Therefore you

would contribute to medication errors and poor patient care.

3. YOU should be in control of YOUR study stacks yourself! Whoever

makes the stack can and should put an electronic lock on them so that

no one else can add or delete or otherwise 'contaminate' your stack

and make errors. IF you choose to allow someone access you can.

Everyone can use them but not everyone can change or edit them. ONLY

the person who made them has complete control of them.

4. I myself have checked out a few of the stacks and found errors.

Remember people 'like' yourself who are just learning are the ones

making the stacks in 9 out of 10 cases. Many are made by students in

pharm tech programs and others by those studying for ExCPT or PTCB

exams. Heck I even have a former student who made a stack with the

name of our school on it that has three errors! I am embarrassed. the

student graduated over 4 years ago but the stack remains on the site

WITH our old school name on it!Still with errors. The student has nto

taken it down but did lock it and I can not get in there to change it.

I recommend NOT using your school's (or pharmacy/work) name unless

your teacher/boss tells you to.

I hope this explains WHY I believe each person should make their own

study stacks (or electronic flash cards and games).

Hope this helps,
