Discussion: Baccalaureate Degree Nurse
Question Description
Content: Describe the distinctions between you as an Associate Degree and a Baccalaureate Degree nurse. What distinguishes your practice? Is your thinking unique? Do you have a different feeling? What is the most surprising thing you have discovered? What is the most important thing you have learned about yourself while completing the program? Give examples of how you used what you learned at work or in other professional nursing activities. Three scholarly references must be no more than 5 years old.
You should proofread your paper. However, do not rely solely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so
indicates a lack of effort on your part, and your grade will suffer as a result. Papers with a high number of misspelled words and grammatical errors will be penalized. Before submitting your paper, go over it in silence and then aloud, and make any necessary changes. It is often beneficial to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Uncorrected mistakes are preferable to handwritten corrections.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point typeface (10 to 12 characters per inch). Smaller or compressed type, as well as papers with narrow margins or single spacing, are difficult to read. It is preferable to allow your essay to exceed the recommended number of pages rather than attempting to compress it into fewer pages.
Large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are also unacceptable, waste trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced, and have a one-inch margin on all four sides of each page. When submitting hard copies, use white paper and print with dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
