Loss of motivation for school

[roseynurse345]

Hi Everyone! I'm ADN who is trying to finish my BSN program. When I was in the LPN and ADN nursing programs I was very motivated about school and did very well in both programs. Now I can't even finish the BSN program, I have lost my drive for school. I keep dropping out of the BSN program. I wanted at some point to be an NP, but I don't know if that is possibility at this point. Did anyone else have this loss of motivation regarding school? How did you overcome it? I keep telling myself I need to have my BSN for all the uncertainty in the job market. If I want to leave my job or do something else it is necessity for the NY job market.

Hello, this is a tough thing.

Where I am from the hospital are now requiring every nurse to get a BSN or they won't be able to work in the hospital. Im not sure if this is a state thing or the group of hospitals that made the decision, but it seems to be a common theme in Texas.

Ask yourself why did you go for the BSN in the 1st place? Dig deep to find the original motivation.

Are you doing it online? If so, maybe a classroom base program could help.

That way you can fund a study buddy to push through.

Good luck
