Re: Mnemonics and Memory Aids

I would love to have any mnemonics you (board members) might have. I am posting this one on someone showed me at an NCLEX review couse I took.
It is about fetal accelerations and decelerations!!!

Just remember VEAL CHOP

Variable Cord compression
Early Head compression
Accelerations OK
Late Placental insufficiency

Re: Mnemonics and Memory Aids

Heart sounds:
S3= Heart fail-ure (3 syllables)
S4=Hy-per-ten-sion (4 syllables)

And the effects of anticholinergics:
Can't see
Can't pee
Can't spit
Can't --defecate

I got these from Nursing Made Insanely Easy, authors Loretta Manning and Sylvia Rayfield. They teach a NCLEX review class based on the book. It's all mnemonics, songs, jingles, that kind of thing. It really helped me.

Re: Mnemonics and Memory Aids

This one really helped me in the cardiac system when you need to know when you hear a murmur like on Mitral regurgitation you hear it on systole.

(H)ARD ASS MRS. MSD

ARD = Atrial regurgitation diastole
ASS = Atrial stenosis systole
MRS = Mitral regurgitation systole
MSD = Mitral stenosis diastole

I learned this in a similar manner: Snow(white) over grass (green), Smoke (black) over fire (red), and a big pile of poop(brown) in the middle.

I like your "white on right" thing
