    There's a section on personal statements in this nursing forum. http://www.studentnurse.org.uk/

    Tips:

    your personal account in approximately 600 words

    why you want to become a nurse

    The statement is your only chance to speak to us directly about the reasons why you have chosen your course, whether this is Adult, Child, Learning Disability or Mental Health Nursing.

    You may be tempted to put all of these options down but this could be seen as you not being focussed and committed to one area of nursing.

    So choose one branch of nursing and give a clear account of why you have chosen that branch.

    All this will help us to decide on whether to offer you a place on a selection day.

    Personal experience

    It is helpful if in addition to general statements about wanting to help people if you could identify some previous personal experience that has influenced your choice.

    For example you would need to say more than 'I was cared for when ill' or that you have 'worked as health care assistant'.

    The account of your experience can be helpful to your application only if you can say in what ways it has influenced your choice.

    You can take online help also.

    Thanks
