Tips for your personal statement:
Make it concise, but do include anything that might help your case. This might include membership of the NCT, being a volunteer in your community, helping with any clubs or societies, things you might have done before you started nursing.
Give an exciting reason as to why you are drawn to the health visiting profession.
There's nothing worse than a statement that goes on and on but doesn't say much. The best ones I've read were bullet pointed.
Write it all out and remove any unnecessary words that don't say anything.
Check and double check your spelling and grammar.
Remember the primary and recency effect i.e. things you say first and last will have more impact than points in the middle.
You're trying to sell yourself, but it's no use saying you can do this or that without evidence.
Say that your work is always evidence based, but give an actual example of your work that is evidence based practice.
Say that you work well as an individual, but also as part of a team, but again give an actual example.
Say that your work is innovative, but give examples.
Say that you have management and leadership skills - example
Say that your record keeping is to a very high standard - example
Say that you can prioritise your workload - example
Say that your work is to a high standard and that you are conscientious - example
These are just some suggestions, you'll have your own experiences to draw on, but give examples.
Get someone to read it for you to proof read it, but also give criticism.
Good luck.
