:)Im knee deep with Anatomy right now.Im feeling pretty low.:uhoh21: I know I want this,so I thought we could have a thread that would help the pre nurses get through rough times. This quote helped me get an A in Algebra last semester:

"When we consistently give control of our lives to other people and to circumstances, we run the risk of learning to give up,even with abundant opportunity around us."

Anybody have any quotes or small stories that helps them stay focused?

I don't have any quotes, but a long time ago I had a friend who was a doctor. One day I was saying how smart he must be to have made it through med school. He said "I'm not any smarter than you. I just kept showing up in class every day, putting one foot in front of the other, and kept trying." Later, when I was in nursing school I remembered that and it helped me to just keep showing up, and not to give up, no matter how tempting it might be. :)
