That's very good ranaazha, didn't think about putting it that way, I've forwarded my application forms already now, but if I see another one I will use that, thanks for your help!! Much appreciated!! and thanks to everyone who has replied too for your advice, all very helpful!! xx:bow:

Ok thanks well pointed out Katie!! I wouldn't cope without these forums!! lol

That could work, as I've had lots of operations, not that I would put that either, or innocent stuff, not self induced!! I just wanted to think of it more in terms of the emergency care, that's what I was trying to connect with, I guess I could put about how I cared for teens in the dept, which I did, it felt really good to be able to help them.

Thanks for your reply!! That's what my thoughts were too!!! Luckily the paeds dept where I've worked so far are up to the age of 15yrs, altho you do get them coming through a tad older!! But I do know what you mean!! Thanks again!!

Hey Guys, I'm such a pain when it comes to personal statements!! Hate those things!!! In saying that I've sorta put something together!! I was just after advice really, I am applying for a paeds emergency nurse, but on my ps, I was going to open with something about where my interest began, but, I was going to say about something that happened to me when I was 16, basically had too much alcohol, b/c I was stupid and ended up in A&E obviously I'm not going to say it quite like that, but just wondered if it was necessary or whether it would go against me putting something like that. What do you think? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi there, Sorry to hear about your situation, sounds really awful for you!! I suffer from migraines and have done for approximately 22yrs now! I am prescribed beta blockers as preventative medication to prevent the onset of migraine as I do get severe migraines so have to take preventative meds. As other posts have mentioned I have had to cut out certain foods from my diet to prevent the onset. I still get them even on the meds, stress is a factor and certain lights and patterns I've found to bring it on. For when I get migraine I take sumatriptan, which is supposed to bring the serotonin levels right again which are responsible for loss of vision etc during a migraine, from what I understand. Anyways, I have never known through my own experience, my family's or from patients anyone who has been prescribed narcotics as regular meds for recurring migraines, seems strange to me. I'm not saying that its impossible as I don't know, but I've just never heard of it before. Anyways I really hope you get everything sorted soon!! Take care xx
