The search function provides a wealth of information like this 7 page thread about mnemonics.

My favorite mnemonic is for teaching heart sounds

"All Physicians Take Money " (aortic pulmonic tricuspid mitral).

awesome!

thank you so much. For some reason creating flashcards with triggers and making up sentences helps the information stick but I had trouble trying to incorporate nursing interventions etc

Try putting the word into the Search feature here; I KNOW there are some really good threads on this! I posted some of my faves a few years ago and I bet with a little searching you'll find LOTS. :)
