Do you need a pneumonic refresher? When I had to re-learn them for my CPAN certification exam last year, I used the same pneumonic I learned in school.

Do you need a pneumonic refresher? When I had to re-learn them for my CPAN certification exam last year, I used the same pneumonic I learned in school.

The one I learned was Oh Oh Oh, to taste and feel very green vegetables, ah heaven. Hahaha. I still remember the pneumonic but can't necessarily name all of the nerves right on the first try.

I used: On Old Olympus' Towering Top, A Finn And German Viewed Some Hops.

I remember the order because if you drawn a horizontal line across your profile, the nose is furthest forward (olfactory), then you get to the eyes (optic nerve), then the muscles around the eye (ocular-motor, trochlear, abducens), the face/cheek (trigeminal, facial), then the ear (vestibulocochlear).

You just have to remember that Trigeminal (facial muscles) is actually number V (5) and Abducens (eye) is VI (6).

Olfactory is cranial nerve 1- there is one nose

Optic nerve is cranial nerve 2- there are 2 eyes

that just leaves oculomotor for the last and third o
