A great site for studying for those tricky medical and nursing exams is The World's Database of Medical Mnemonics, medicalmnemonics.com. The Lancet reviewed the site with a couple of examples of content: "'With vomiting, both the pH and food come up. With diarrhea, both the pH and food go down.' How to remember the path of sperm in the male reproductive tract? 'SEVEN UP': seminiferous tubules, epididymis, vas deferens, ejaculatory duct, nothing, urethra, penis. These and many more amusing mnemonics await users of the Medical Mnemonics database..."
You can add your own mnemonics to the database, or search hundreds of different mnemonics in 36 categories from Anatomy to Urology. You can even download the database to your pda or palm pilot.
