Cranial nerve mnemonics

RNonsense · Mar 8, 2003

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!!!!
