<strong>What</strong>​ ​<strong>Are</strong>​ ​The​ ​<strong>Ma<strong>in</strong></strong>​ ​<strong>Th<strong>in</strong>gs</strong>​ ​To​ ​<strong>Avoid</strong>​ ​<strong>in</strong><br />

<strong>Personal</strong>​ ​<strong>Statement</strong>​ ​<strong>Nurse</strong>​ ​Writ<strong>in</strong>g?<br />

Nurs<strong>in</strong>g is one of <strong>the</strong> most common and competitive profession <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> world<br />

with almost 20 million registered nurses worldwide (accord<strong>in</strong>g <strong>to</strong> World Health<br />

Organization). So, you will f<strong>in</strong>d huge <strong>in</strong>formation and guidel<strong>in</strong>es about how <strong>to</strong><br />

write a ​personal statement nurse profession. But very few of <strong>the</strong>m will tell you<br />

which ma<strong>in</strong> th<strong>in</strong>gs you should avoid while try<strong>in</strong>g <strong>to</strong> write an effective personal<br />

statement for <strong>the</strong> nurs<strong>in</strong>g section. I will expla<strong>in</strong> some of <strong>the</strong> major th<strong>in</strong>gs that<br />

you​ ​should​ ​consider​ ​<strong>to</strong>​ ​make​ ​your​ ​statement​ ​more​ ​attractive​ ​than​ ​o<strong>the</strong>rs.<br />

Th<strong>in</strong>g​ ​<strong>to</strong>​ ​avoid​ ​<strong>in</strong>​ ​your​ ​personal​ ​statement​ ​nurse​ ​writ<strong>in</strong>g<br />

Generally, <strong>the</strong>re are few mistakes that almost everyone makes while try<strong>in</strong>g <strong>to</strong><br />

write a personal statement for <strong>the</strong> nurs<strong>in</strong>g purpose. You should make sure that<br />

you are not mak<strong>in</strong>g any of <strong>the</strong> follow<strong>in</strong>g mistakes <strong>in</strong> your own personal<br />

statement.<br />

1. Mak<strong>in</strong>g​ ​it​ ​<strong>to</strong>o​ ​generic:


As I have mentioned before, nurs<strong>in</strong>g is one of <strong>the</strong> most common professions <strong>in</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> world. So, <strong>the</strong>re will be a lot of personal statement written specifically for<br />

this profession. You need <strong>to</strong> write an ​attention grabb<strong>in</strong>g statement <strong>to</strong> <strong>in</strong>crease<br />

your chances of be<strong>in</strong>g considered for <strong>the</strong> nurs<strong>in</strong>g position, O<strong>the</strong>rwise, recruiters<br />

will avoid your application just like o<strong>the</strong>r application papers conta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g generic<br />

statements.<br />

2. Includ<strong>in</strong>g​ ​irrelevant​ ​<strong>in</strong>formation:<br />

You should never <strong>in</strong>clude anyth<strong>in</strong>g that is not relevant <strong>to</strong> your application. The<br />

recruiters/committee members are already bombarded with application load, so<br />

<strong>the</strong>y don’t have time <strong>to</strong> spend on read<strong>in</strong>g irrelevant <strong>in</strong>formation that you<br />

<strong>in</strong>clude. This could be <strong>the</strong> ma<strong>in</strong> reason for gett<strong>in</strong>g poor feedback from a<br />

personal statement if you are not careful. Every <strong>in</strong>formation and details should<br />

be checked and rechecked before submitt<strong>in</strong>g <strong>to</strong> make sure everyth<strong>in</strong>g is relevant<br />

and important. You may <strong>in</strong>clude some ​funny nurs<strong>in</strong>g jokes but that strictly<br />

depends​ ​on​ ​<strong>the</strong>​ ​type​ ​of​ ​authority​ ​that​ ​you​ ​are​ ​apply<strong>in</strong>g​ ​<strong>to</strong>.<br />

3. Do​ ​not​ ​use​ ​<strong>to</strong>o​ ​much​ ​common​ ​or​ ​<strong>to</strong>o​ ​complicated​ ​terms:<br />

This is <strong>the</strong> hardest part of your judgment because you have <strong>to</strong> choose your<br />

words carefully for grabb<strong>in</strong>g better attention. If you use <strong>to</strong>o many common<br />

words, <strong>the</strong>y will treat you like o<strong>the</strong>rs and you won’t get any better value. And if


you choose <strong>to</strong>o complicated terms <strong>the</strong>y will avoid your application as well<br />

because <strong>the</strong>y don’t have time <strong>to</strong> google your terms <strong>to</strong> f<strong>in</strong>d <strong>the</strong> mean<strong>in</strong>g. So, you<br />

better choose your words carefully <strong>to</strong> make a difference <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> ​personal<br />

statement​ ​for​ ​nurs<strong>in</strong>g​ ​job​.<br />

4. Not​ ​<strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g​ ​relevant​ ​<strong>in</strong>formation:<br />

You should <strong>in</strong>clude all of your relevant <strong>in</strong>formation for gett<strong>in</strong>g more value from<br />

<strong>the</strong> recruiters/committee. Don’t leave out important po<strong>in</strong>ts as <strong>the</strong>re are a lot of<br />

applicants out <strong>the</strong>re with almost same experience like you. So, some of your<br />

relevant​ ​<strong>in</strong>formation​ ​may​ ​create​ ​a​ ​difference​ ​between​ ​you​ ​and​ ​<strong>the</strong>m.<br />

5. Do​ ​not​ ​make​ ​common​ ​mistakes​ ​like​ ​grammar​ ​and​ ​spell<strong>in</strong>g​ ​mistakes:<br />

We live <strong>in</strong> an era of <strong>in</strong>ternet, so <strong>the</strong> common mistakes like grammar and<br />

spell<strong>in</strong>g mistakes may seem silly. But, <strong>the</strong>y are important while you are try<strong>in</strong>g<br />

<strong>to</strong> write a personal statement. Recruiters may become very disappo<strong>in</strong>ted if <strong>the</strong>y<br />

figure out any common mistakes <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> statement. It will carry a bad reputation<br />

for you and <strong>the</strong>y will assume that you are <strong>to</strong>o lazy <strong>to</strong> correct those mistakes. So,<br />

be sure <strong>to</strong> check those errors by some au<strong>to</strong>matic onl<strong>in</strong>e or offl<strong>in</strong>e <strong>to</strong>ols (<strong>the</strong>re are<br />

several​ ​free​ ​and​ ​paid​ ​<strong>to</strong>ols​ ​out​ ​<strong>the</strong>re​ ​<strong>to</strong>​ ​check​ ​those​ ​mistakes​ ​<strong>in</strong>​ ​no​ ​time).<br />

Summary<br />

So, you need <strong>to</strong> be more careful while writ<strong>in</strong>g your personal statement <strong>in</strong><br />

nurs<strong>in</strong>g. You may <strong>in</strong>clude some common nurs<strong>in</strong>g jokes like <strong>the</strong> ​picabo street<br />

nurse​,​ ​but​ ​this​ ​depends​ ​on​ ​<strong>the</strong>​ ​type​ ​of​ ​organization​ ​that​ ​you​ ​are​ ​go<strong>in</strong>g​ ​<strong>to</strong>​ ​apply.<br />
