A strong personal statement for a nursing course highlights a genuine passion for caring, relevant experiences, and a clear understanding of the profession. It should showcase your empathy, communication skills, and ability to handle the challenges of nursing, demonstrating why you'd be a great fit for the course and the career. To structure it, try to write clearly and reflectively about: • how you arrived at your decision to go into nursing • why, specifically, you want to be an adult, nurse • how your experience and research has contributed to your understanding of the realities and challenges you'll face • what it is about your skills, attitudes, values, and character that make the profession right for you • anything you feel is especially relevant about your academic studies, or maybe a project you've undertaken Some universities will score your personal statement against their specific selection criteria. Make sure you take a look at individual university websites, as these criteria may be listed for you to refer to. Look for nursing courses in our search tool. Writing about relevant experience Try to build up as much experience or observation as you can. Ideally this should be in a care environment, such as a hospital, clinic, GP practice, school, residential care or the voluntary sector. Any other experience of working with people is helpful too. Back up these experiences by carrying out some relevant background reading or research – Health Careers is a good starting point. Just talking to nurses about their work will also be valuable. Nurse Ewout talks about his route into nursing. If possible, get to some university open days, as they’re great for picking up new insights and asking questions. Then, when you write about all this in your statement, try to explain and reflect on: • what you’ve learned about some of the realities of nursing, the challenges, constraints, and frustrations you’ll face (rather than the rewards), and the skills, qualities, and values you’ll need • how you’ve demonstrated some of those skills, qualities, and values yourself through your experience, extracurricular activities, personal interests or achievements The latter could include the responsibility and commitment you’ve shown through: • voluntary work • the teamwork and interpersonal skills you’ve developed in your part-time job • the empathy you’ve shown as a student mentor • the leadership you’ve displayed as a guide or scout • something specific that happened on a Duke of Edinburgh’s Award expedition, and so on Tip: Don’t waste space in your statement explaining what a nurse does – they know that! But if you’ve found out for yourself how nurses manage, prescribe, evaluate or critically review evidence when making decisions, do reflect on that. Focus on the field of nursing (adult) Most nursing admissions tutors expect you to apply for one specific field only, such as adult or child. They'll expect you to choose between nursing and midwifery courses rather than apply to both at the same time. However, one university told us that you wouldn’t automatically be rejected if you are genuinely interested in the crossover between two different fields (same for nursing and midwifery), so do check first. Some universities also offer dual-field courses but you'll need to demonstrate a realistic understanding of the field(s) you’ve chosen. For example, if you’re applying specifically for mental health nursing, you might want to reflect on your ability to understand other people’s perspectives or to advocate on their behalf. Or if you feel it’s appropriate to reflect on your own experience of mental health then, as one admissions tutor told us, the key is to explain how this has motivated you to become a nurse yourself. For child nursing, you might wish to demonstrate your awareness of the diverse range of children you will nurse and the kind of challenges you expect to face. Similarly, for adult or learning disability, you could reflect on what you’ve learned from your interactions with elderly people, or how you’ve supported someone with a learning disability yourself. The key words are ‘demonstrate’ and ‘reflect’. It’s not enough just to say you understand something – you need to show what it was that led to your understanding. Then, as Moira Davies, nursing admissions tutor at University of South Wales, advises, ‘highlight the skills you have that are transferable to the field of nursing you have chosen’.
