    The more you do something, the more it gets embedded in your mind/memory. Also, healthy foods make for a healthy mind, whereas the normal "study diet" of sugar and junk food can cloud memories. Deep breathing... lots of good, healthy living.

    The Memory Book by Harry Lorayne & Jerry Lucas has some great tips. Also, I walk around when I'm going over (and over) my 3x5 cards, outside if weather permits.

    all my Mnemonics are against TOS. Suffice it to say if I really want remember something...the dirtier I can make it the better it sticks

    Reduce your stress level. Increase your happiness and peacefulness. If you are always stressed too much and your body is in fight-or-flight or panic mode, you can't learn or retain.

    How I memorize is verbalizing aloud and writing it down as I say it. Works like a charm for me.

    My worksheet- by the end of shift not even an egyptologist could decypher what I written on that thing. Outputs, last doses and my assessment data are scattered all over it. It looks like a highlighter committed mass murder too.

    Read, teach it to my dog or the wall....say it aloud again. Take 10 minutes...repeat-so far works like a charm...I have even studied in my dreams.
