Remember Remember!!!

For the Great Lakes, we use HOMES

H - Lake Huron
O - Lake Ontario
M - Lake Michigan
E - Lake Erie
S- Lake Superior
 
Yes - that's a good one.

There is something in sales which some people may have seen - FACE

F - facts
A - affects (someone who couldn't work out the difference between effect and affect must have written this!)
C - consequences
E - equation (possible solutions)

This is after the mortgage has been discussed, and discussing the protection needs to ensure that the mortgage is covered should anything happen to them, but I guess it works in other industries too
 
We had a real brain buster in nursing in order to remember the 12 cranial nerves. It went something like this-

On Old Olympus Towering Tops A Very Fat Girl Vamps And Hops......

In other words-

Olfactory
Optic
Oculomotor
Trochlear
Trigeminal
Abducens
Vestibulocochlear
Facial
Glossopharyngeal
Vagus
Accessory
Hypoglossal


It never worked very well for me at the time, and I prayed that we wouldn't get any nervous system anatomy in our finals...:D

We were taught the phrase "Never Eat Cake Eat Salad Sandwiches And Remain Young". Stupid but for some reason I always remember it.
 
When I was doing my Nurse Training we used lots of these things to help us remember......
Characteristics of a living cell = Now I Must Go Right Round England......
N= Nutrition
I= Irritability

R=Respiration
R=Reproduction
E= Expiration.
Signs and symptoms of a Fracture........Pay LSD if U Can
P= pain
L= lengthening
S=shortening/swelling
D=deformity
U=uneveness
C=crepitus
There were others as well, but they escape me now.
 
Trouble is remembering all this stuff is remembering it twice because not only do you have to learn the saying, but you have to learn what it means. I always got unstuck with this sort of thing.
 
When doing my apprenticeship in electronics we were taught to remember the resistor code by the rhyme
bad boys rape our young girls but virgins go without-or from the start of each word:

Black, Brown, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Violet, Grey, White.
