This doesn't really help you, but when I was in undergrad we learned a little rhyme about the cranial nerves, and hopefully someone on here knows what I'm talking about and can remind me.

It went something like, "one is long, two on the tips, three on the side..."

It was just to help you remember which nerves were which when looking at the brain...

Honestly, mnemonics are great, but you really have to just learn the cranial nerves--you'll pretty much test them on every patient for the rest of your life, with the small exception of a few specialties.

Here's a pretty crazy one.
You have to sort of picture this in your mind for it to work.

Smell (and) See Motorized Treeclearers Try (and) Abduct Facial Vests (from) Glossynecked Vegas Actresses (and) Hypergirls

I guess I'll post the dirty one I use:

Oh Oh Oh, To Touch And Feel Virgin Girls Vaginas And Hymens, or some variation on that theme.

There's got to be a more tasteful mnemonic than that.

This is pretty popular on my side of the Atlantic too - interesting how things get around.

Welp, we use it to and it helped me on the test, haha. For some reason I remember the distasteful ones much easier. 😛




P.S. Our head and neck exams today were brutal. 👎

There are several, but why would you want them?

We use ooh ooh ooh, too. For the facial branches: To Zanzibar by motor car

It's not like I'm sitting there with standardized patients wondering aloud if the affected nerve they seem to be complaining about is "virgin" or "hymens"...lighten up; it's not as if it's an unfamiliar mnemonic.🙄👎

 

[gman33]

There is no reason a mneumonic should be tasteful, it just needs to be memorable. The more outrageous the better.
Just don't pass on the info to your patients.

...I only remember it (even to this day 8-years out) because it's non-sensical.

Gotta remember with that one that VIII is "auditory" instead of vestibulocochlear and XI is "spinal accessory" rather than just accessory though.

Two Zebras Bit My Crotch(, Painfully to include the posterior auricular)

and Olympic Opium Occupies Trouble Triathletes After Finishing Vegas Gambling Vacations, Still High.

I like that one b/c it has Ol for olfactory, Op for optic, Oc for occulomotor and I find it better than OOO, but I've already memorized them it seems so it doesn't matter.

 

[whoknows2012]

oh oh oh to touch and feel a girls vagina so hairy----told to my comparative vert anatomy class by our 70 yr old woman professor (we were all speechless) it made for a good laugh afterwards and I will NEVER forget it HAHA

And to neurodocDO, as other have said, I am sorry but mnemonics are not meant to be tasteful they are meant to be memorable and if remembering something "distasteful" helps you memorize something than so be it....

I use "Old Opie Occasionally Tries Trigonometry And Feels Very Gloomy, Vague, and Hypoactive"

The thing about mnemonics is that usually the more vulgar it is the easier it is to remember.
