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.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION;

Discuss nursing specialties

Introduction

Nursing specialties are a way to categorize nurses in the same way that doctors are categorized as primary care physicians, specialists and subspecialists. Each specialty has its own set of skills, areas of expertise and responsibilities. Specialty titles include geriatric nurse practitioner (GNP), psychiatric nurse practitioner (PNP) or cardiac nurse practitioner (CNP).

geriatric

Geriatrics is the study of aging and its effects on individuals, families, and society. It includes the subspecialties of geriatric psychiatry and geriatric neurology.

Geriatricians are trained in an interdisciplinary environment that allows them to provide care for patients from all age groups who have chronic diseases or disabilities such as heart disease, cancer or stroke; neurological disorders such as dementia; musculoskeletal problems including arthritis; diabetes mellitus type II (adult onset); urinary incontinence due to prostate enlargement or neurogenic bladder (neurologic causes)

pediatric

Pediatric nursing is a specialized field that focuses on the care of children. It requires intense training and experience, which can be obtained in many ways. In addition to completing an associate degree or certificate program at a community college, you may also choose to earn your bachelor’s degree at a university with an accredited nursing program that offers licensure as well as certification for advanced practice nurses (nurse practitioner).

The best way for you to determine what kind of pediatric nurse you want to be is by considering the type of work environment you prefer: generalist vs specialist?

vascular

Vascular nurses are trained to treat patients with vascular diseases like atherosclerosis and peripheral vascular disease. They also work in the management of patients with vascular access devices, and they care for people who have had a stroke or heart attack. Vascular nurses work in a variety of settings including hospitals, clinics and private practices.

anestheisa

Anesthesia is the medical specialty devoted to the prevention and relief of pain in patients and the maintenance of anesthesia. Anesthesia is a subspecialty of medicine, concerned with the administration of anesthetics and analgesics. This includes intravenous sedation, conscious sedation (whereby a patient becomes deeply asleep without being fully unconscious), general anesthesia (whereby patients are rendered unconscious) as well as emergency procedures that may require endotracheal intubation or laryngeal mask airway ventilation.

cardiac

Cardiac nurses are highly trained and experienced in the treatment of patients with heart problems, such as coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure or arrhythmia. They work in a variety of settings including hospitals, outpatient clinics and private practices.

Cardiac nurses use an interdisciplinary approach to care for these patients by working closely with physicians who prescribe medications or provide therapeutic interventions such as diet changes or physical activity programs. Cardiac nurses also assist patients with their daily activities like dressing themselves after surgery or following a prescription for pain medication following an operation on their chest wall (sternum).

neonatal

Neonatal nurses specialize in the care of newborns. They often work on the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), where they provide round-the-clock, 24/7 care for premature babies who need to be closely monitored because of health problems or birth defects. Because these infants may require assistance for months or even years to come, neonatal nurses provide support and guidance as the child grows up into adulthood.

A neonatologist is a physician who specializes in treating newborns’ medical conditions while they’re still inside their mother’s womb—that’s right: before they come out of it! A pediatrician specializes in treating children as well as adults; she/he can also refer patients back to an obstetrician if necessary.

Talk about nursing specialties

Nursing specialties are important for nurses to know, because they can help them understand the role of the nurse more clearly. They also provide a different perspective on what it means to be a nurse and how they can contribute as one in their field. Here are some examples of nursing specialties:

• Geriatric

• Pediatric (including neonatal)

• Vascular

Nurses who specialize in one type of care will have an advantage over those who don’t because they’ll be able to relate better with patients and families who may have different needs than others may face at times during their lives.

Conclusion

A nursing specialty is a special area of nursing practice that focuses on a specific area of knowledge and experience. Specialties are often required for registration or licensure as an RN in some states, and may also be required for advanced practice nursing or other advanced credentials. In order to become certified as a nurse who has completed the necessary coursework, you have to have earned an MSN (Master of Science in Nursing) degree from an accredited program.
