    Question Applying for 2007 entry

    Hey guys.

    I'm a newby here. I was just wondering whether any of you could help me. I'm just in the process of applying for entry into Uni next September. I'm really struggling with my personal statment... especially how to start it off. The main thing they're after is why I wanna do nursing but I'm kinda stuck... how do I make myself sound different from other applicants and avcoid the cliches?

    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Welllll....how about you want to make a difference in peoples lives? It IS the truth, right? You haven't started school yet, so you're not quite sure what area you'll specialize in.....unless you already have an idea. If you do have an idea, use that in your statement.

    Write a focused, well organized, original letter on your personal reasons for choosing a career in nursing. The concern is not sounding different, but to convey sincerity.
