Thanks, guys!! :flowersfo I also did a search in the forum for cranial nerves and found the uh...more vulgar one, should I say? LOL

Okay, I've SERIOUSLY gotta get offline, take a shower and STUDY!! THANKS AGAIN, CHICAS!!!

Yeah, I saw that one in my travels too. I like the other one but whatever remembers it for ya! How is studying going? I was doing a bit of fluffy studying earlier but now am sitting down at the table to do some heavy-duty stuff. Happy Saturday evening! I should be off to a party somewhere, shouldn't I? I am such a swinger, after all.

Hate to admit it ('cause I'm such a "prude"! LOL), but the more vulgar ones are easier to remember. :imbar :chuckle

I've studied the brain for an hour and a half so far today. I took a study break that was meant to be short...it's now been extended to two hours! Oops! Guess I'd better get back to it! LOL

Angel

LOL! I am sitting here -- presumably having a blonde moment -- when I found the rhyme I was thinking, "What are 'hops'? Oh, they are talking about the olympics and they are at a hurdling event ... I guess?!"

Um ... er .... then I just said to dh, "What is 'hops'?" ...... boyyyyyy do I feel stupid ..... but that's okay -- I just put together that "lats" refer to "latissimus dorsi".

:chuckle :rotfl: :chuckle :rotfl: :chuckle :rotfl: :chuckle :rotfl: :chuckle

SERIOUSLY CRACKING UP!!

Good thing I wasn't drinking anything because I likely would have either done a tremendous spit take or snorted it through my nose. I am NEVER going to forget the cranial nerve rhyme again.

You are so funny! Most people have trouble walking a straight line after a few of these :beer: just imagine to run hurdles, some would get their lederhosen snagged and break some of them bones that I need to know by Thurs. Here we are again us party girls on allnurses.com having way too much fun on this wonderful Sat night:rotfl:

Hey, St. Pauli!! How did you do? Hope you aren't fainted somewhere in a dark hallway. HUGS! Have you made a lot of friends in the class? Do you have a study group of some kind? Sending you a hug and wanted you to know I've missed seeing you over the past few days!

Can you believe that I made 100 on his test? I almost fell out of the chair, I started crying and had to leave the classroom. Later he actually told me that he was proud of me......we only have 3 students left in the class, the second highest grade was a 94 and my bbuddy who wants to become a Physical Therapist is now at a B average. I am currently holding a 93 average in the class. This upcoming labtest will be the absolute killer also. I have been studying madly every day.

Well done! You obviously have unlocked the key to this study thing!!!
Cranial Nerves

"On Old Olympic Towering Tops A Finn And German Viewed Some Hops"

I Olfactory / II Optic / III Oculomotor / IV Trochlear / V Trigeminal / VI Abducens / VII Facial / VIII Vestibulocochlear / IX Glossopharyngeal / X Vagus / XI Spinal Accessory / XII Hypoglossal

Okay, sorry, scrap this one .. because I just realized it goes along with the old namings of some of them. I still do like it, though.

How about

"Oh Oh Oh To Touch And Feel Very Green Vegetables AH!" Ah well.

Wow congrats. Funny though is I just got a 100% on my CNS and nerves test. Professor said its the first 100% she has had in years. It felt realy good.
