Nursing school is no joke. As a nursing student, you pretty much say goodbye to any social life and commit yourself to the demanding program. Each and all of us may have questioned our career choice at some point because of the rigor of all the things that you have to learn. That's nursing school for you, but we all know that at the end of the day all these struggles will be worth it. So here are the 10 quotes that we nursing students should live by.

1. Next to creating a life, the finest thing a man can do is save one. - A. Lincoln

There's no better feeling than knowing that one day despite all of the struggles, you're able to save someone's life and enable them for a second chance at life.

2. Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time. - Thomas A. Edison

4. What we have done for ourselves alone, dies with us. What we have done for others and the world remains immortal.- Albert Pike

Even if it's as little as the gesture of holding someone's hand while getting a shot, that could potentially impact someone's life just because you were there for them. What you do to others, sticks to you.

5. There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind. - C.S. Lewis

Unfortunately, on top of the stress of nursing school, life still decides to give you certain challenges that require you as an individual to make a choice for yourself. Should you continue to look back or look forward... the choice is yours.

And you can be the smartest egg in a basket, and that still won't guarantee that you'll be a great nurse. Nursing school requires a lot of hard work and if you're not willing to put in that effort then you can't expect yourself to make it by just winging it.

8. Don't stress. Do your best. Forget the rest. - Anonymous
