Pharmacology - best way to learn

[ArrowRN]

Pharmacology is coming at me fast and furious... I'd like to know what are some helpful tips to get medications learned. I realize most textbooks use the body system approach, however I feel like I need to memorize like the top 50 drugs used in nursing school to at least have the appearance of being competent. After that I'll be able to connect the dots into body systems , patho and nursing management. Just the words and spelling alone are a task in itself to learn. Any website or resource has what are the top drugs a student should be expected to know? How did you learn pharm?
