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?
And I also remember Im doing this for my parents (especially my dad), the people Im gonna work with when Im an RN, and for my country. I hope I get through it.
In Finding Nemo, Dori says, "Just keep swimming" and she does it in a little sing song voice that I hear over and over in my head.
I love that. I'm starting a new job in a week, and I think I'll sing that, too as I get acquainted with new people, places, etc. Thanks so much for sharing it.
"this is temporary". really, it's only two years (or four years for some of us) and i can totally suck it up and take it for another year. i'm almost halfway there already, and i feel like i just started!

"You have to find some happiness in your life".
