No Motivation to Study! Help!

So I have turned in my nursing school application for summer term and I am waiting to hear if I will be accepted. Therefore, I cannot seem to make myself study for my current classes. They will not affect my admissions status at all. The only reason I signed up to take classes this term is to raise my 3.8 prerequisite GPA in case I need to reapply to nursing school in the fall. I am repeating classes I took in the 1980s and made B's in so I don't really need them. Anyone else having motivation problem? I'm wondering if I should drop the classes. Can someone please play mommy and give me a swift kick where I need it most and get me back to work?:nono:

I am in the same boat as you. I wish I had some advice to give, but I don't know how to get motivated either! I am taking my TEAS test on March 3rd and am so not motivated to study. I found excuses all weekend, but I have no choice, I just have to do it

I think work is what is killing me. I am so drained when I get home that I can barley think. I tried exercising the second I get home, and that wakes me up a little... I can't drink coffe after work or I will not be able to sleep at night. I think I am going to set a study schedule and try to tell myself that I cant have any personal time everyday until after I study. Good luck!

I had a fast paced semester last semester but I only have 2 pre-reqs left and hoping to get into the school I applied to for the fall. So I'm taking 1 class now (AP1) and then one in the summer (AP2). My problem is that AP1 class seems to be going slower than I'd like. So it seems like I have a lower motivation to study because I don't feel pressure to do so. If I was taking another class, I know I'd be more on studying as I'd have to balance the classes.

Nothing for you...I'm staring blankly at an absolutely terrible set of questions, and I just can't do it.

It's time to grow up, put your big girl underwear on, and find a way to realize that being really good at something, trying your best - is its own reward.

Thanks everyone. It helps to know I'm not alone. Thanks MN-Nurse I needed that.

Just remember... the sooner you do this/these assignments, the closer you are to be done with them!!! That's my motto.

Amen. I wish I had the motivation to even get to the gym but I just want to go home, sit on the couch and stare off in the distance after a long day. Glad to know I'm not alone!

what mn nurse said. when you find yourself unmotivated,ask yourself why on earth you, a competent and intelligent person, would want to sabotage yourself when you are perfectly able to do what you know you need to do.

:madface:now get out there and do what you need to do or i'll give you something to ...... laugh about.
