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.
Here is a mnemonic my granfather learned yrs and yrs ago and taught it to me when i was Nursing school. I was in awwww and amazed that he still remembered it to a "t",well with obviuosly the few minor changes. I hope it helps ;-). Let me know it there's any changes that need to be made?
