Failure can be a blessing
🌿Everyone fails at something...everyone.
🌿In my prerequisites, I started failing microbiology when my dad got cancer. I had to drop the class and retake it.
🌿In my first semester of nursing school, I failed VITALS checkoff. I made the mistake of only doing one form of patient verification.
🌿I cried and I actually questioned if I should even keep going.
✨But I never made that mistake again...
🌿Each time I failed, I would have a good cry and then I pushed myself to do better.
🌿Failure can motivate us to work harder and move forward.
🌿We do not grow unless we try something new. People that are successful fail a lot, but it's only because they tried and tried AGAIN.
🌿One of my teachers even once told me, "Amanda, you work hard but are not very smart. I would rather have a smart surgeon, than one who works hard."
🌿It angered every being inside of me. It pushed me throughout nursing school to PROVE THEM WRONG.
🌿All the failure, hate, and pain became my motivators to succeed.
🌿Next time you fail, do not be afraid. This is what you need to evolve.
✨I hope this gives you some comfort today!
❤️XO Amanda

I need this. I failed Adult Health 1, aka Med-Surg 1. In my defense, that class is super hard. There are too many select all that apply questions. It’s my first time failing a class. I can handle failing one exam, but an entire class? I was bummed, and I actually cried about it. What made me feel better is knowing that I’m NOT alone. I’m not the only one who failed a class or an exam.
