i was given a a scholarship by the 40 et 8 thru the american legion and instead of the usual thank you card, i made a mini scrap book, the intro page says "what i learned in semester 1..."

pg1 - i learned i want to help everyone, but i also learned i can't help them all.

pg2 - "i don't know, let me look it up" is an acceptable answer

pg3 - a person's eyes can say it all when their mouth can't.

pg4 - i learned to respect one's pride because it may be the only thing they have left in the world that is theirs.

pg5 - sometimes the only form of communication needed is a smile

pg6 - i also learned that nurses have a great sense of humor ...

pg7 - student nurse dx - risk for increased intracranial pressure related to information overload

pg8 - a&p in a nutshell: air goes in and out, blood goes round and round, any variation on this is a bad thing.

pg9 - nursing school - boot camp for your brain

p10 - coffee is a foodgroup! student nurse dx - increased risk for excessive daytime sleepiness related to altered sleep pattern aeb toothpicks holding their eyes open during study time

I have a file of these things. Some are really funny because I like the funny ones. Two of my favorites are "Welcome to S**t Creek. Sorry! We're all out of paddles" and "When the chips are down the buffalo is empty".

Anyway, here is an older thread where someone else asked for suggestions of inspirational sayings. I posted a big long list from my file on it.

To keep it all in perspective, I'm partial to my friend June's saying,
