Student Nurse's Prayer

Dear Lord: I know we go through this every day, but please give me the knowledge as to why I actually wanted to go to nursing school. Lord, give me the strength to make it through those boring three-hour lectures without falling asleep. Lord, please give me the patience to make it through the twelve-hour clinicals with instructors who can't just give you the right answer. On the same note, give the nurses the ability to remember what it was like to be a student and give us just a little more respect. Lord, give me the endurance to read all the assigned readings and be able to remember it when I am taking a test with four right answers. Lord, give my family and friends the ability to realize I really am on the edge of insanity. Finally, Lord, give me the vision to see that one day I will be a real nurse and I will never have to wear this ugly uniform again. Amen.

One of the girls in my clinical group found this and brought it in to share. It hits a little too close to home, lol.

Even though I'd never read it, I thought those things many times during nursing school. AMEN!
