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.
my thing is a stupid little song. : Oh oh oh T-t-a-f- VGV- AH!!! It seems stupid but it worked for me. The lady parts thing was a bit repulsive to me. As for sensory verses motor or both, it's like this
some say marry money but my brother says(it's) bad business (to) marry money .
We got the Finn and German version, then our professor told us about the dirty version using the word blank when necessary. He told us the Finn and German version is ridiculous because everyone uses the dirty version :)
I learned this one as "Some say marry money, but my brother says big boobs matter most."
Also, for the other one ... I learned the off-color version -- not the clean version about the Finn and the German. However, for the final 2 nerves, it was a little different.
My instructor (a 23 yo grad student) never told us the dirty mnemonics because last term one of her students was her mom's age (40's) & she thought she'd make her older student feel uncomfortable.
LOL on that one. I think a 40 yo could make a young 'un blush faster than the other way around.
