maybe you could try writing it as a letter to a friend about why you want to become a midwife... the thoughts might flow easier then you can change it around. once you start writing it will be easier... what was the first thing that made you think you wanted to go down this path?... write that down and go from there....  good luck!------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

Ew, I HATE writing essays too. I usually start with bullet points of everything I want to say.
Put them in some sort of logical order and try to make something from there. Good luck!!! -------------

Sometimes I find it helps to make a list (or bullet points) first of everything you want to include in the essay, and then see how all those things might fit together in the essay. That way you can link common ideas together, and it can help everything flow IYGWIM?  Good luck!  -------------

Also... CPIT usually have about 3 questions surrounding the profession that they like you to answer... I haven't seen the application form for this year, but when I applied we had to do them. (2008) So it's good if you can chuck in some references about them.
I don't envy you... it took me all of pre-health right up to the application deadline to write mine... it was so hard to put my reasons into words. Good luck :) |

Write bullet points, then group them together into 3-4 parts. Talk about what you can offer the profession more than what it can do for you.
Good luck - I hate essay writing when it's about yourself! |

Don't say it's because you like babies! Seriously though just think about what will make you a good midwife and include all the life experience you have had that backs this up.
I starting writing mine quite early and worked on it for ages just adding bits as I thought of them. Also do a bit of research into the history of midwifery in NZ (Mum's the word by Sue Kedgeley is a good book for that) and look at the handbook for practice by NZCOM which is in the tech library. Good luck

Man! I am still trying to write this!
I have been sitting here an hour and its just not coming to me. I know why i want to be a midwife, but to write it in a way that doesnt seem dumb is hard. The 3 questions are: A) State why you want to become a midwife, including personal qualities and relevant aspects from your life experiences which you would bring to the midwifery profession. B) Describe where you see midwifery in the wider context of Womens health and what you consider significant issues are for midwifery practise in New Zealand C) Describe how your background has prepared you to work in a profession that provides midwifery services to diverse population. Its question B that i am having the most difficulty with  ------------- ~ Mummy to a beautiful girl ~ |

Kandice, just get the ideas down hun, don't worry about how they sound at this point. If you are worried about vocabulary and construction, flick it my way and I can do some editing for you if you want, or can lend some constructive feedback (I'm a teacher on maternity leave). The most important part for you to get going with is to get your ideas down, because only you know what it is you want to say.
Good luck hun! ETA: in response to your edit: Think about what role you think midwifery plays in women's health (why do you think its important etc etc) and what challenges there are, think about the pro's, con's and interesting points to midwifery in this section. Its more to get you to communicate that you are knowledgable about midwifery and have done some reading... HTH -------------

try doing it verbally first - record it, and then transcribe it - that might get you some ideas. Put the ideas down on post-it notes after that. Now play with the order using the post it notes. when you have an order that looks good, use that as the structure.
For each paragraph, just put your point, then explain what you mean, and then give a couple of examples. Look it over and give to three people - check they understand what you mean. Now check spelling, grammar etc. And thats it. Essays are NOT scary - just the simplist way of getting your messag across. they just SEEM scary/ And don't fall into the trap of using the most complicated vocab possible - formal writing is best when simple. |

i too considered going into midwifery.... Hmmm
have a break... read a magazine and give your brain 10min to think about something else... then come back to it.. Bullet points star charts/mind maps they are usually a good starting point. Good Luck - You can do it ! |

| Hi guys, and who in general likes to write essays, this is a lot of wasted time. I have a lot of other things to do, I am young and handsome, but I will never finish university. My child will be born soon, and I'm still learning, I needed to make custom college papers, I contacted https://www.advancedwriters.com/college-papers.html" rel="nofollow - https://www.advancedwriters.com/college-papers.html , bought the finished work online, this service helped me a lot. If I have difficulties in my studies, I always use the services of such sites, it is very convenient and saves a lot of time, just before adulthood I want to have a little more fun, then there will be no such opportunities. |
