Nursing is such a diverse, challenging and worthwhile career that I really feel it is the right course for me. It is a vocation for people who are practical, conscientious, reliable and who find it easy quickly to establish good, trusting relationships with new people. I have these skills and a genuine desire to help people when they need it most. The role of the nurse is changing in the NHS, with more opportunities for nurses to take greater responsibility for patient care and to become specialists in areas such as intensive care, cancer treatment and other specialties. In studying for a degree in nursing I hope that I will be able to make the most of these opportunities as my career develops. The greater use of Information Technology as the National Programme for IT is implemented in the NHS will have a great impact on the way that patient information is recorded and used by nurses. It will be important that nurses in the NHS are confident in the use of IT and I believe that my A level in Information Technology will help me in this area.

When I was first considering nursing as a career I thought that I would prefer paediatric nursing and arranged for work experience of paediatrics in two hospitals. My first week of work experience took place at St Mary's hospital in Paddington, where I particularly enjoyed my time in the paediatric A and E department. I spent my second week at Leicester Royal Infirmary where I helped on various paediatric wards and in outpatient clinics. My work experience helped me to decide that nursing is for me because I was able to see how doctors and nurses work together as a team and what a huge contribution the nurse makes, not only to the care of the patient but also to the patient's family. I have had recent experience of adult nursing when my father became seriously ill earlier this year and spent four months in hospital. The nursing staff helped me and my family through this time with care and

    Nursing is a very challenging and interesting career which involves hard work and commitment. Since I started studying Health and Social Care, my interest in Nursing has grown. This has inspired me to study Child Nursing as I believe that my studies can be practically applied. I am also keen to make a difference to people’s lives, whether caring for children or supporting parents. My interest in and appreciation for this career has been encouraged by family members who work in the NHS, and who have made me aware of its less glamorous side, as well as the positivity of caring for others.…

    I believe education is a powerful and important asset to human development. Society depends on the education of our youth today and also on trying to educate students to be responsible and considerate to others. Teachers today are faced with teaching children to understand who they are in themselves and in society. An individual's development is based on their education through out their childhood. Education is the challenge to give a firm foundation for future growth. Knowing how to be an affective teacher, where the students can understand and learn is the most significant factor of being a teacher.…

    Machines and technology are the two combinations that push my childhood imagination to the limit where no walls are in front of my imagination. I realise my interest in engineering started to grow strong as my father himself was always surrounded with machines. With my interest specifically aiming towards a new invention, I started to become envious of the world as some of my dreams had already been invented by someone else, like the usage of an electrical car powered up totally by a rechargeable battery that uses nature itself to harness energy. I wish to become a mechanical engineer as it will allow me to make my dreams come true. Learning is a process of working as I am targeting to finish up my studies fast until I get a degree and then start to take a job and form a team of researchers to invent things.…

    My name is Chi Chen Hsieh from Taiwan. In my whole life i never be a super-student who is academically ingenious. I’m more proud about what I’ve achieved, and I take pride in my success. When you take a look at the world I come from, maybe you’d be impressed by me, the student who has came from very far away from the United state, the boy who spends his whole high school years learn how to speak English and completes an honest number of volunteer hours. The world I come from is much different than what the numbers and letters may portray because those numbers are relative to everyone around me. But my world is unique and my success is genuine. Since the beginning of high school, I’ve had to shape most of my path on my own while breaking down academic barriers.…

    I am personal. This is a statement that is very personal. If you see this, you are looking at my personal statement. How dare you do such a thing! I do not think you should look at someone else's personal statement, unless you have his or her permission. However, you are looking at my personal statement now, and obviously I did not give you permission to do so. It is unforgivable. Nevertheless, I forgive you all for looking at my personal statement. After all, this statement is not very personal at all. At least, I get to say whatever I want to say. Peace.…

    I was exposed into different academic matters as I took my Level 3 course in preparation for higher education. This includes subjects such as anatomy, biology, public health and others which are some of the main focus in the nursing course. Together with this are my work experiences in different health care settings. During my work experiences at college, I have attended groups of children and witnessed how they develop. I worked thoroughly with the children for five months. Through this, I was able to develop good communication skills and responsibility. Correspondingly, I also spent six months work experience in a local residential care home where I gained useful transferable skills in delivering care to residents. Communication skills, teamwork, and time management are only some of these skills. I believe that experience in the field that I want to engage myself in is one of the most important components of education. This convinced me to apply for a job in a health care setting. At present, I am working as a Nursing Auxiliary in a care home. Throughout my days on my workplace, I earned the passion and motivation to pursue this field, particularly Adult Nursing. I enjoyed myself working with the adults and I can…

    The way I think of Accounting is that it is a fundamental part of our way of life. This is because I believe that every person in the world uses the principle of Accounting at least once in their lives. It can be things that they do in their daily life, for example, checking how much money they have with them, or how much they have spent; or they use it in businesses and large-scale transactions where it is commonly known.…
