𝗧𝗬𝗣𝗘𝗦 𝗢𝗙 𝗕𝗢𝗡𝗘𝗦 (𝗡𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗻𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰𝘀 & 𝗘𝘅𝗮𝗺 𝗧𝗶𝗽) 🦴📚

𝗠𝗻𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰: 𝗟𝗮𝘇𝘆 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝘂𝗯𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁.”

Many nursing students mix this up during Anatomy exams.
But once you know this simple mnemonic, you’ll never forget it again.

There are 5 Types of Bones in the Human Body:

1️⃣ Long Bones – e.g Femur
2️⃣ Short Bones – e.g Carpals
3️⃣ Flat Bones – e.g Skull
4️⃣ Irregular Bones – e.g Vertebrae
5️⃣ Sesamoid Bones – e.g Patella

Now here is the easy mnemonic to remember them:
🧠 “𝗟𝗮𝘇𝘆 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝘂𝗯𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁.”

L – Long
S – Short
F – Flat
I – Irregular
S – Sesamoid

Next time you see a multiple-choice question on bone classification, 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗻𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗶𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗼𝗽 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱.

📌 𝗘𝘅𝗮𝗺 𝗧𝗶𝗽:
If you forget everything else, just remember the sentence first, then expand it.

🧠✨ 𝗖𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗜𝗔𝗟 𝗡𝗘𝗥𝗩𝗘𝗦 —

Nursing student…

This is the post you screenshot before exams.
You don’t just need to list the 12 cranial nerves.

You need to:
✔ List them in order
✔ Know if they’re Sensory, Motor, or Both
✔ State their functions confidently

So I simplified EVERYTHING into one clean table.

If you can say this sentence confidently:

“𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗢𝗳 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗔𝘀𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗔 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗩𝗮𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆”

You can list all 12 cranial nerves in order in your exam —

And if you remember:
“𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗦𝗮𝘆 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆, 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗠𝘆 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲"

You will NEVER mix up Sensory, Motor, and Both again.

This is how we study smart.
Not cram hard.
Save this post now.
Revision week will thank you.

Hi, I’m Nurse Opeyemi 👋🏽

If you're a nursing student struggling with Anatomy, Physiology, Pharmacology, or Med-Surg — this page is for you.

I know what it feels like to read and forget.
To cram all night… and still panic in the exam hall.

I’ve been there.

I struggled a lot with Med-Surg. But before my pre-council and council exams, I met a friend who introduced me to mnemonics, smart memory tricks, and simpler ways to truly understand Anatomy, Physiology, and Pathophysiology — not just cram them.

And everything changed.

If someone like me, who once struggled deeply with Med-Surg, could pass pre-council and council excellently — I promise you, you can too.

On this page, I’ll be sharing:
🩺 Simple nursing explanations
🧠 Powerful mnemonics
📚 Practical exam tips
💊 Pharmacology shortcuts
📝 Memory tricks that actually work

My goal?
To help you PASS confidently — not just read endlessly.

Follow this page.

Let’s make nursing school easier… together. 💙
