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.

Tuppence, Cranial nerve VIII is also called the Auditory nerve or V for Vestibulocochlear. That is where the A is from.

Um, yeeeeessssss... I know that. In my anatomy class, though, we were supposed to call it the "vestibulocochlear" nerve. Which is why I said

if you are trying to remember "vestibulocochlear" rather than "auditory," it works better to say...

see the "if"?

Well let me tell you, I was quizzed on ALL of them. I had to list them all and also list what their function was. That helped me so much, I got them all! Thanks everyone! :)
