Mnemonic for cranial nerves

[KR]

I am a freshman nursing student and in my A and P class we have to learn the 12 cranial nerves. I know that there are a couple little sayings out there to help remember them but I do not remember all of the one I heard before. I know the one was a little sick, but I don't care if it helps me to remember them. I would be very appreciative if someone would reply in the forum or in email if anyone knows what I am talking about or where I could find the sayings.

Thank you very much.

Wow. That's a new one that I haven't heard, but it's good.

Type in cranial nerves in google then click video. Someone created a good song, thats really easy, which helps once you remember the cranial nerves to know what each one does.

Also, for pneumonics, wikipedia has a crazy long list of hilarious pneumonics for cranial nerves as well as pneumonics for whether each nerve is sensory, motor, or both

On Occasion Our Trusty Truck Acts Funny, Very Good Vehicle Any How.

Instead of learning Cranial Nerve VIII as Acoustic, we had to learn it as Vestibulococchlear nerve. I was told it was changed to make it more clear on what it does. It helps with equilibrium as well as hearing. Hope this helps :)

I'm using:

Old Opie Occasionally Tries Trigonometry And Feels Very Gloomy, Vague and Hypoactive

The guys in the class LOVE (for sensory, motor, both): Some Say Marry Money But My Brother Says Big Bras Matter More...I'm using that too!
