Scholarly Paper Phase 2 (paper title, begins on page 2)

(No heading of Introduction) Introduce the assigned paper topic. Explain that this paper is a summary of the assigned article, followed by explanation of the impact of the article contents on your own future professional nursing practice.

Assigned Article Summary

This section should be a revised and enhanced version of what you wrote in your Scholarly Paper Phase 1 based on Phase 1 feedback from your instructor and feedback on the Week 4 TurnItIn report. Appropriate revisions made from Phase 1 will be crucial to improve your score.

Type statements that summarize the assigned article here. This paper should include a summary of the most important ideas in the assigned article (revised from Phase 1). Most of these facts should be paraphrased (including proper citations). One or two short direct quotations (with appropriate citations) can be used in this section (appropriately revised). There should be no prior knowledge, experience, or opinion in this section. All facts must originate from and be cited to the assigned article. No information should be included from other sources. See rubric for length limitations and other criteria.

Add paragraphs here as needed.

Impact of Assigned Article Content on Future Practice

Type statements here about the impact that the content of the assigned article will have on your future professional nursing practice. This portion of this paper should be your own ideas about how your own future practice will be impacted by content of the assigned article (revised based on instructor feedback on Phase 1). Since ideas are your own, use of first person is appropriate and no citations are needed in this section. See rubric for length limitations and other criteria.

Add paragraphs here as needed.

Conclusion

A concise summary of the paper is to be written here. A concluding statement is also to be provided in this section.

References (centered, not bold)

Type your reference here using hanging indent and double line spacing (under “Paragraph” on the Home toolbar ribbon). See your APA Manual and the resources in the APA section of Course Resources under Modules for reference formatting.

ORDER CUSTOM, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPER

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
