About elprup

elprup has 2 years experience as a BSN, RN.


When Thomas Edison was interviewed by a young reporter who boldly asked Mr. Edison if he felt like a failure and if he thought he should just give up by now.

Success is almost in my grasp." And shortly after that, and over 10,000 attempts, Edison invented the light bulb.
