My New Favorite Thing

Recently I decided to purchase a PDA in order to run drug information programs that are so very useful in my line of work. It arrived yesterday, and I have been having a great time fiddling with it. They're so much fun. I also downloaded the Standard Works on it so I can carry it around to firesides and stuff rather than my regular scriptures which I don't usually take due to the fact that I'll probably set them down and forget them somewhere. It's so convienient.

Cephalosporin Antibiotics

I've worked at Walgreens for almost two years, and have seen a great many prescriptions for antibiotics, but until I started the infectious disease class this year, i didn't really know the difference between all of them. One thing I didn't know about were the great number of cephalosporins that I didn't know about. Of course, a lot of them are administered IV, so that's why I've never heard about them, but trying to remember all of the names is quite a chore, especially since the names all start with cef- or ceph-. Anyway, I guess I'll get it all straightened out eventually. It is quite interesting though.
