Awww, thanks guys

I made a few wee adjustments, nothing major, and left in the PND stuff... and wrote a concluding paragraph. All ready to go I think. Now I just have to finish doing my CV and I'm all sorted.

Wrx, you are a sweetie... I would totally love to be involved with your 2nd bubs if the timing is right!

I got my first assignment back for this semester, and got a great mark - totally made my day since it was a very stressful assignment and I felt like I really rushed it. stoked.]]> Fri, 28 Aug 2009 11:02:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28380&PID=759175&title=midwifery-application-essay-advice#759175 <![CDATA[midwifery application essay... advice! : Very well written and thought...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28380&PID=759118&title=midwifery-application-essay-advice#759118 Author: RBsMama

Id pick you too Jane and have no doubt you will get in.

I say leave the PND bit in it shows you have experienced a wide range of complications for yourself and i think it will make you sound like you will have a better understanding of the experience your future clients will have.

Also if i get round to having #2 around the time you need to attend births feel free to come visit I think you will make an excellent midwife and would be happy to help in any way]]> Thu, 27 Aug 2009 21:49:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28380&PID=758921&title=midwifery-application-essay-advice#758921 <![CDATA[midwifery application essay... advice! : I think it sounds great and I&#039;d...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28380&PID=758919&title=midwifery-application-essay-advice#758919 Author: peanut butter

I think it sounds great and I'd pick you also!! wrt the PND...I'd leave it in. It shows you are honest and not ashamed of it. It also means you will know where someone is coming from if one of your patients suffers too. ]]> Thu, 27 Aug 2009 21:48:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28380&PID=758919&title=midwifery-application-essay-advice#758919 <![CDATA[midwifery application essay... advice! : Definetly leave it in Jane..

OH I forgot to ask... do you think I should leave the bit about PND in there, or take it out? Will it count against me do you think? It does say in the application that you have to declare any health issues including mental health... ? ]]> Thu, 27 Aug 2009 21:16:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28380&PID=758886&title=midwifery-application-essay-advice#758886 <![CDATA[midwifery application essay... advice! : Yup, applying at Otago.

Jane - I think it reads really well, the only thing that I would possibly add is something about this being your choice for a long term future career. Other than that I think its perfect!

Well done - I am sure that they will think you are a perfect fit, and you would make a fabulous midwife!
