Hi, I'm Konatsu.
Today, I want to ask you guys about "What's your study or work motivation?".
I'm going to take a Nursing examination in the U.S. However, the study isn't going well.
I have to study Medical terminology in English. I know It's difficult for me. My English is still intermediate level.
Because of that I sometimes don't want to study. Then I always feel like a just waste time.
I realized that I don't have any motivation when I study.
I'd like to know other peoples' motivation when they study or work.
Could you give me some advices, please?
Have a good night guys !

Motivation is tricky. Often you have to force yourself to do something even when you aren't particularly motivated- you have a reason to do it, but the feeling isn't there. If you set manageable goals, and start achieving them, motivation gets generated. It comes from the feelings of accomplishment you get from getting things done. Just make sure your bigger reasons for studying nursing are in order first.
Do you know when you are taking the exam? If yes, you can create a calendar and plan out when you need to study/learn the various types of terminology (by this I mean diseases, cardiovascular system, equipment, ... I'm making this up as I doing know the various types or categories of terminology you may have) in order to be ready for the exam.
Also, do you have a study buddy? Someone you can study with who can either help you with learning the terminology or maybe you can motivate each other to study. It may be more fun with a friend.
Good Luck!!!
Thank you for giving me some advice :) I was thinking of my bigger reason on last week end. After that, I immediately created my study plan. I don't have a study buddy. However, I'm going to go to a community college soon. I hope I can make some friends there.
