Please read the article – Caring in the Margins by Enestvedt et al. (2018). The article discusses essential skills in transcultural nursing around issues of equity and social justice. Consider ‘aha’ takeaways while/after you read the article. The synthesis and application post focuses on getting you to think a bit deeper on this topic, specific to your own profession and public health nursing. There are three questions for you to answer:
1. Consider your own profession. What do you see as opportunities for adopting pieces of what you read in this article within your current professions and/in public health nursing?
2. Consider your own profession. Are there pieces of what you read in this article that you are struggling with and/or feel are not a fit regarding your profession and/or in public health nursing?
3. What is something you want to know more about, as it relates to this article?
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.
