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

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.

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
