Just some “paper pointers”: APA and other instructions about following rubric <\/p>\n
Typed and double-spaced on standard-sized paper (8.5″ x 11″), with 1″ margins on all sides. You should use a font consistently throughout the paper. APA recommends using12-point Times New Roman.<\/p>\n
\u00a0To create a page header\/running head, insert page numbers flush right. Then type THE TITLE OF YOUR PAPER in the header flush left using all capital letters. The running head is a shortened version of your paper’s title\u00a0<\/p>\n
Title page:\u00a0The title page should contain the title of the paper, the author’s name, and the institutional affiliation. Because this is a student paper, it should also include the course number and name, instructor name, and assignment due date. Include the page header (described above) flush left with the page number flush right at the top of the page. \u00a0<\/p>\n
Write the papers in your own words. You can have quotes however. If you cut and paste anything, it must be in quotation marks, not just in-text cited. Any data or conclusions taken from another source that you paraphrase or put in your own words, do not need quotation marks but still need an in-text citation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In text citations are written at the end of the sentence, in parenthesis and have the author’s name, comma and date. If it has no date, write n.d. If it has no author listed, write the first three words of the title, comma, followed by the date.<\/p>\n
Don’t forget to indent your paragraphs.<\/p>\n
On any quotations or direct material taken from a source, be sure to add the page number after the date in the parenthesis.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
If you have a quotation or direct excerpt from an article or other source that is 40 words or more, it has to be indented into it’s own paragraph with the in-text citation at the end of the whole indented quote including page number (author’s name, date, page number). Page number is only included if it is a direct quote or material taken from a source. \u00a0<\/p>\n
The sections of your paper should be as follows and be centered and in bold:
-Introduction or abstract written in bold above and centered:
-The introduction or abstract is single paragraph double spaced. Includes purpose of the analysis of the concept you chose and tells us why the concept is important to nursing.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The concept definitions section with\u00a0the concept definitions\u00a0written in bold above and centered:
The concept definition (see rubric) should contain a common usage description of your concept as used in nursing, description and nature of concept from sources, YOUR definition of the concept<\/p>\n
Next section is the Literature Review,\u00a0in bold above and centered:
-Summarize literature on this topic that is relevant to your paper and supports your point. YOU need 5 sources for your entire paper and one needs to be a book. Not all 5 have to be cited in this section, they can be spread throughout.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0Next section is the body,\u00a0 the word Body written in bold above and centered
– Tell the reader how the concept you chose is demonstrated by giving an example or examples; tell the reader why it is important to nursing; tell the reader what impact this has on the profession of nursing; give specifics; how this applies to nursing practice. Use your own words as much as possible please! I don’t want a paper that is mostly cut and paste from somewhere. This is YOUR paper.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0Last section is your summary:\u00a0the word Summary written in bold above and centered
– Give the reader a summary in your own words of what your paper says, a conclusion and here is where you can include your personal belief. Make sure you say, “my belief is..” or “My opinion is…” or “It is my conclusion that…” something along those lines. If you do not say this is your opinion or belief, then I will think it is a fact or from research data you got somewhere and expect a citation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Include a reference page. How to do reference page and other APA in detail found at:\u00a0https:\/\/owl.purdue.edu\/owl\/research_and_citation\/apa_style\/apa_formatting_and_style_guide\/general_format.html<\/p>\n
