Stay Motivated
How I Stay Motivated
I sometimes find it difficult to stay motivated in the midst of all the lectures, notes, and assignments. Social media platforms are a huge distraction. Social media also serves as a window into the "lives" of other individuals. It is extremely difficult to stay motivated when you see your friend's Instagram post in the Virgin Island while you're sitting in a 2-hour pharmacology lecture! However, I don't really think doing a " social media detox" is really an effective way to stay focused because I ultimately end up back on the apps by the end of the day. I use social media as a way to stay motivated. Youtube is an application I use constantly whether it is on my phone, laptop, or tv. I found a youtube account which is owned by a Nursing student in an Accelerated Nursing Program. Holley Rojek just recently graduated from her program but has given incredibly insightful advice and inspiration in previous videos. Holley also touches on the importance of balance and fitness while in nursing school. I find it comforting and motivating to watch someone who has gone through virtually the same process as I am right now. Holley gives studying advice for different classes, how to handle getting bad grades, different clinical rotations, CNA tips and much more. I highly recommend giving her channel a try! I find that watching nursing related videos is a good way to stay motivated and excited about the journey we are all on. I will leave the link to her channel below (:
Tibianurse,
ReplyDeleteYour blog name is very creative! I am very open to ideas to stay motivated and distracted from unrelated apps as well. I look forward to watching the YouTube channel you provided in your blog. A nursing account I like to watch is called NurseBlake. These videos are relatable through humor and break the stress and doubt I may be feeling at times. I also like to use my interests as rewards to keep pushing. For instance, if I achieve my goal of studying for a particular week, I will then spend time on sports or hobbies that I no longer have as much time for.
From,
A Relatable Nursing Student
