I'm not smart enough to be a nurse . . . yet

Ever notice why some students embrace challenges, while others shy away?

Mindsets.

Your mindset might just change how you approach your goals in nursing school…

A fixed mindset: abilities are set.

A growth mindset: abilities develop.

• When challenges appear, your mindsets matter.

In nursing school, challenges are constant.

• A student with a fixed mindset avoids challenges.

• One with a growth mindset thrives when challenges arise.

Having a growth mindset is the secret sauce for success. 

Putting effort into a fixed mindset is useless.  It's time to shift your thinking.

When considering success and failure, success in a fixed mindset is about validation, but in a growth mindset, it's about learning. Failure isn't a setback; it's an opportunity for growth.

As a nursing student, adopt a growth mindset: see challenges as learning opportunities, embrace mistakes, and persist. Grow your knowledge and expand your growth mindset with NURSING.com.
