    You should post this in the nursing student forum. Not sure why you're posting this here....

    Categorize them by what they do and their worst side effect eg Antihypertensives: ARB,ACE etc. Try to learn by categories

    no one can remember all drugs. The average experienced nurse knows 70-80 drugs well; the average

    experienced MD knows 33! Thats what PDRs are for ! Also remember to always refer to recent editions because new adverse drug alerts are reported every day.

    Always take a systems approach. Really understand what the class of drugs do. Then they make sense. For example the diuretics. Where do they act? Why? What are they trying to get rid of and how? This will help you remember what they are used for and the potential problems you might see with a patient using them. It takes a little while to go through them all, but with that approach, you remember them.

    And I'm a huge believer in flashcards and phased interval studying. check out my flashcards: https://allnurses.com/nursing-student-assistance/pharmacology-flashcards-595483.html
