What mantra is getting you through nursing school?

Published

Another thread has prompted me to ask: what mantra/saying/advice has gotten you through nursing school? What do you mutter every day as you head out to all the responsibility that is waiting for you?

Here are mine:

'Never let anyone or anything get in the way of your goal.'

When you think you can't do something, you WON'T. When you think you can, you WILL.

I have the above two sayings on my fridge, so I can look at them every time I open that door.....which is a lot, sadly, LOL.

Finally:

"One more day down and on my way to my goal."

These three sentences have given me strength the whole time and have made a difference for me. What helps you?

close the window so i don't throw my books out

Ha!!! Now that is one I can relate to!!! :D

Satan you are a liar! God will always see me through. I also ask God to kill all negative energy that I may possess:nurse:

"Keep on swimming!"

My favorite quote is...

"my mommy's a nurse"-Mattea (my daughter)

Then I think how could I ever face her and say "actually, honey, no I'm not, because I gave up"?

Never. Not going to happen.

I like the C=Continue one...I'm such a psycho perfectionist that I cry if I get below an A on anything and I KNOW I'm going to end up burning myself out that way...Oh and the sky is pink one...do we all have the same instructors or something? LMAO!

:heartbeat I like the saying "Just Keep Swimming" and "the sky is pink."

No matter how hard you think it is, don't quit. We have gotten this far and soon enough we'll achieve our dreams. We can do this!!!

My favorite is "this is temporary"

My mantra has been to "Live, Laugh, Love, and when all else fails--SCREAM into a pillow!"

"Greater things are yet to come and greater things are still to be done."

"Lord let these hands be healing hands. Let everyone I come in contact with today, especially my patients, see You in me and let me see Your face in them. Take away any doubt, fear, or anxiety."

I have several mantras that have been getting me through nursing school and they are:

1. 76% is passing. 76% is passing. 76% is passing.

2. I'm already a nurse, I just need to pass the class.

3. Soon-to-be-Sugar Momma. (LOL!)

4. My life will return....someday.

I have much more, but I can't think of them right now.:D
