πI remember the exact moment when I first wanted to quit nursing school...
βοΈ I was taking A&P II and I was getting ready for midterms. I was not understanding the material and there was always tons of readings and homework to complete.
βοΈ I broke down. I cried for like a full hour.
βοΈ I called my mom and said, "I can't do this...I just don't have it in me."
βοΈ My mom gently reminded me, "Honey, you always try your hardest and that is all you can do. Give it your all and if that still does not work out, then other doors will open for you."
βοΈ I decided after that phone call to keep working on my homework and to cry my way through it.Β #WhatAScene
βοΈ I felt inadequate and behind, but I still kept pushing myself.
βοΈ Eventually, I kept pushing myself to the finish line and I am a proud RN that graduated with honors. ππ©ββοΈ
πWe all feel like we are not smart enough.
πWe all feel behind.
πWe all feel like quitting.
βοΈ But the true mark of your character is how you respond to these moments of doubt and insecurity.
β€οΈ I believe that everyone is capable of passing nursing school.
β€οΈ I believe YOU ARE SMART.
β€οΈ I believe YOU ARE CAPABLE.
β€οΈ I believe YOU WILL BE A GOOD NURSE.
πYou just need to believe it too.π
Xoxo,
Amanda
