Dental nurses having trouble learning evvvvvvverythin.
Question:
Answers:
I know exactly how you feel but you are not going to remember everything but from when i did it & other people i know we found that they mainly ask about:
Trigeminal (fifth)- most important nerve: sensory info for teeth, gums, tongue, lips & cheeks. movement supply for muscles of mastication.
Facial (seventh)- movement supply for muscle of facial expression.
Glosspharharyngeal (ninth)- movement info to the parotid salivary glands & sensory info from the pharynx
Hypoglossal (tenth)- conveys movement function to the muscle within the tongue.
I hope this helps, i passed few yrs ago

Don't worry! You can't possibly learn everything. So no you are not alone.
Don't worry , most of the examiners don't really know the stuff either.
The lads in my class who ended up examining DSAs are pretty thick themselves. Just remember those who can ,DO, and those who can't , TEACH.
Learn the basics and know at least what the names pertain to - as long as you don't just look blank or write nothing(if it's written) then you will be OK.
Nerves stink. And so do veins, arteries. all head and neck anatomy is tough. But, just do your best. Nobody knows everything. be confident in the things you DO know, and keep studying!
Good luck.
The nerves, yuk. The twelve nerves, how to remember? A little saying Oh Oh To Touch And Feel Very Good Velvet AH.: optic (II), oculomotor (III), trochlear (IV), trigeminal (V), abducent (VI), facial (VII), vestibulocochlear (VIII), glossopharyngeal (IX), vagus (X), accessory (XI), and hypoglossal (XII) nerves. I loved micro, hated head and neck. A small bit of advice. Learn those bacteria and understand them now, because once you are in hygiene school Periodontology class makes micro seem like child's play. Bacterioids Forsythias, Porphormonous Gingivalis, Actinomyces Cumitans, Prevatella Intermedius, blah blah blah. What fun.

microbiology was the hardest part to me of dental assisting school but try this learning method we were taught whcih was to go over the material 7 times in different ways- for instance reading it, reading it outloud, hearing it,ect. it does help.
