Midwifery Personal Statement
I chose this profession because of how rewarding it will be once I qualify. It's really good to care for people. That's something that I've always loved to do, looking after people. I know, going into midwifery, that the outcome will not always a be a good one, but I believe I have the emotional level of maturity to deal with the highs and lows of it. I have a caring nature to do the job. Communication is key to being a midwife. I will be able to communicate with the women, to reassure them. I have demonstrated compassion and the ability to provide emotional support to those who need it during hard times, while showing courage and bravery when I supported my sister through her loss of a child at birth.
I commit myself 100% to anything that I do. And I know midwifery requires utmost commitment because the women, as well as colleagues will be relying on me to be committed, to provide good care.

I know that providing good customer service is useful in Midwifery because at the heart of this profession is the need to make sure the woman is always satisfied with the care she receives. Being a mum is the best thing in the world, and to be able to support other women through this journey is equally special and just as rewarding. My work as an entry clearance office gave me valuable experience in working with people from different backgrounds and the importance of respecting people's dignity. I often had to reassure applicants who were anxious about visa interviews they were about to undergo, while also sometimes having to deliver the bad news of an unsuccessful visa application. My work demonstrates that I am able to communicate well and work with

    I have chosen this career path for the patients. I have chosen this career because it is two paths that I can switch back and forth from, cardiac and pregnancy. I can go to school for Diagnostic Medical Sonography, then at the end of my four years, I can either go into cardiac sonography or pregnancy sonography. I could also be on a rotation so I will be able to do both things that I would enjoy.

    I chose nursing as my profession because of my mother and other factors. My mother was an influence because early this year she was in the hospital for two weeks and during that period I only saw the doctor thrice. The nurses where the ones doing everything, so I felt they were the ones who nursed her back to health. The other deciding factors were: variety of places for jobs whether in the public, private, or community setting; the opportunity to learn new things since no day is ever the same; the opportunity to work with other health professionals; nurses will always be needed; nursing offers specialty areas, and the opportunity to be a traveling nursing.…

    The tasks include providing care for the newborn and the family and monitoring the baby and mother for any issues that may come up after delivery (“Postpartum Nurse Careers,” 2015). In order to become a postpartum nurse, one must attend nursing school and pass the NCLEX and receive additional training in birthing and postpartum care (“Postpartum Nurse Careers,” 2015). During this past clinical day, I shadowed a postpartum nurse. I would describe my nurse, Irene, as a very knowledgeable yet compassionate nurse. She was very skilled in providing not only medical care for her patients, but also emotional support. She was very efficient in time management and prioritizing who needed what the most of the four patients she had. She worked very well with the CNA’s on the floor by always communicating with them to coordinate the care they provide as…

    Everytime I see those blinding blue eyes that my 4 year old niece has, my mind goes straight to the day before she was born. On October 30th around 4pm, my sister, who was 9 months pregnant at the time, and I are sitting on our comfy brown suede couch. The cliche screams coming from the scary movie that’s playing in the front of the room. Little did I know that in just a few minutes my heart rate would go up, but not from the movie, from the horrors of childbirth.…

    There have been many occasions in my life that I have spent time in hospitals, nursing homes and by the side of a sick relative. When my grandfather was dying of cancer, he spent as much time as he could at home with his family by his side and when the time came, he was transferred to hospital, I was 14 at the time, still very young I knew it was not about how I was feeling, this pain was his and my grandmothers. I helped look after him for the two years he was diagnosed and it was during that time, I knew where my heart was and that was nursing. With my own experience of being in and out of hospital with two complicated pregnancies, I was in awe of the nurses and midwives who did everything they could to make me feel secure and safe, I was inspired and made an already certain career choice, even more evident.…

    I have known that I wanted to work with children since I was a young child myself. Before the age of ten, I thought I might be a teacher. As I enjoyed math and science, several of my aunts, nurses themselves, encouraged me to consider nursing. As a sibling of a disabled child, I was probably exposed to more medical knowledge than average, and I took my first CPR class when I was eight years old. I liked the nurses and therapists that worked with my sister, but I also had respect for the teachers that worked so tirelessly with her.…
