What Is Mnemonics?
If you have to memorize a list of long, complicated names that make no sense, you’re not alone. A lot of people have to do this. This is where mnemonics can help.
What are mnemonics? Basically, mnemonics are devices that help you remember otherwise disjointed facts that might not hang together in your noggin for easy memorization. One popular mnemonic that helps you remember a month’s number of days, for example, is, “30 days hath September, April June and November. All the rest have 31, excepting February alone; which hath but 28 in fine, till leap year gives it 29.”

Cranial nerve mnemonics
Let’s say you’re in nursing school, and you’re going to have to memorize the 12 cranial nerve pairs. What you’d consider an easy mnemonic is going to depend on what you find easy to remember. Just Googling I found several mnemonics for the cranial nerves, some of which made me snicker. Now, that’s something that would jog my memory; I like funny stuff.
