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.
