Hi all, I am currently applying to University to become a student midwife and must submit a personal statement as part of my application. If you have a minute and don't mind taking a look, please can you let me know what you think. Constructive critism is most welcome. Thanks, Viki:wink2:

Thanks so much. My tattoos are, by my consideration, very not offensive. The visable ones are the words "carpe diem" in pretty writing around my wrist (could be covered with a watch) and the visible part of my 3/4 arm sleeve in very delicate oriental flowers and water and a scroll containing my son's name. Thanks you so much, Viki

Hello, there, My name is Viki and I am new to this forum. I am in the process of applying to become a midwife as it something I have wanted to do for a very long time but never had the opportunity to do. I know that I have the personal qualities to make a great midwife but I have tattoos. I am worried that this could affect my chances of getting a job once I finish my training. Most of my tattoos can be covered by scrubs but i have a 3/4 sleeve on one arm and a small piece on my other wrist that could only be covered by long sleeves. I would love to hear from other people with tattoos or people who know of nurses or midwives with tattoos to hopefully put my mind at rest. I know this is the career path that I want to follow so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Viki
