A traditional approach to writing a longer essay includes a process of: Generating a topic and identifying a clear, defendable thesis. Accumulating and evaluating solid academic and popular (news) resources. Organizing a coherent argument (often from an outline) with an introduction, body of supporting evidence, and a conclusion. Working through a recursive drafting process that includes a rough draft, a preliminary draft, and a final draft. Topics: The subject matter and argumentative direction of your research argument are open to your choice. You must, however, research and write about a matter of contemporary American public controversy. In recent classes, students have written about gun control, immigration policy, educational access, environmental concerns, and stem-cell researchjust to name a few potential topics. Due to the complexity of many of these areas of controversy, youll want to identify a subject that you are passionate about early in the course and begin accumulating resources and refining your views.

Is this a non-clinical or research-based topic that should be evaluated using levels of research? Provide an overview of PICO or Levels of Research (whichever is appropriate for your article) and explain why they are used. Discuss how you used information literacy skills (PICO or levels of research evidence) to evaluate the healthcare information that you found.

Provide an in depth discussion of the topic including: An overview of current literature (within 5 years) Arguments for and against the topic and a discussion of the relevant ethical principles that apply Your perspective on the issue with your reasoning and arguments from the discussion above (It is okay to discuss this section from the first person perspective). Resources should include at least 4 supporting references beyond the course texts (published within the last 5 years). The majority of your sources should be scholarly, peer-reviewed material. Examples include: Journal articles Popular media (that is credible) News or video reports Clinical conflict/issue that you have experienced during your time as a nursing student Guidelines for Writing the Paper APA sixth edition guidelines should be used for structure and citation; The minimum page requirement is five pages of text; this does not include references or title page. Papers consisting of less than five full pages of text will automatically receive a 10% penalty; This paper should be an ethical analysis. A clue to whether you are correctly completing the assignment lies in the composition of the reference list if you have non-or few ethics based references and instead cite mostly policies (without analyzing those policies), you are probably off-base; Quotations are not allowed in this paper unless used to describe a specific guideline of a organization that legitimately has put out a position relevant to the paper topic. An example would be quoting part of the ANA Code of Ethics. The reason for this restriction is that quotations are often overused by students to build their arguments when the legitimate use of a quotation is to bolster an argument that the student has already stated. Also, most cases of plagiarism by students discovered through Turnitin appeared to be blocks of text copied from an online article that a student intended to use as a quotation but forgot to cite properly. Getting in the habit of using as few quotations as possible will make you a better writer. Grading Rubric for the Final Paper: 75% of your grade will be based on the content including: proper identification of an ethical topic analysis of the varied arguments that address this topic in the literature Strength of the argument/justification for your position on the issue, including ethical analysis Utilization of appropriate references include at least 4 supporting references beyond the course text 25% of your grade will be based on written presentation Grammar Strength of writing ability Spelling Formatting
