just wondering if anyone has any good ways to remember the cranial nerves 1-10 i had heard of a mnemonic but can't remeber it, not a good sign eh? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

thanks Erin:)

Specializes in ICU.

On Old Olympus Towering Tops a Finn and a Swede Viewed Some Hopps....there is one that is easier..but I can't remember it. This is what we were taught anyhoo...:)

I vaguely remember being taught a vulgar one but it escapes me....I'll try and find it for you though.

To remember the nerves:

1. On 7. Fin

2. Old 8. And

3. Olympus 9. German

4. Towering 10. Viewed

5. Tops 11. Some

6. A 12. Hops

Cranial nerves are either motor, sensory, or mixed.

1. Motor (M---3, 4, 6, 11, 12)

2. Sensory (S--1, 2, 8)

3. Mixed (B--5, 7, 9, 10)

1. Some 7. Brother

2. Say 8. Says

3. Marry 9. Bad

4. Money 10. Business

5. But 11. Marry

6. My 12. Money

Hope these help. My nursing instructor just gave us these about a week ago. Good Luck!!!!

These are the ones I remember from way back when.

Oh, oh, oh, to touch and feel a girl's lady parts, ah heaven.

That's the one, except the last two words were 'and hymen'! :D

Thank you all so much these are great and as "vulger" as it is it's pretty darn catchy. I appreciate the help as always, you all are great resources!!:specs:
