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.

Pamela F. Cipriano, PhD, RN, NEA-BC, FAAN is the first nurse to lead the American Nurses Association (ANA). She was elected president in 2018 at a time when nursing is facing unprecedented challenges and needs new leadership for a stronger future.

Cipriano’s career as an academic and leader in her field has been marked by accomplishments that have earned her international acclaim—and not only from within academia but also from outside it as well. In 2015 she received a Presidential Award for Excellence in Career Achievement from former U.S. President Barack Obama; this honor recognized “Pamela F. Cipriano” for being one of very few people who have achieved success through both public service and private industry simultaneously since World War II; it honored her dedication to advancing healthcare equity across all populations regardless of race/ethnicity status or socioeconomic status (SES).

At the ANA’s member assembly, Cipriano was elected by a unanimous vote to serve as the association’s president.

The ANA is the largest nursing association in the United States, with over 2.7 million members. Its mission is to promote excellence in nursing and health care delivery through advocacy, education and service to its members.

At this year’s annual member assembly, Cipriano was elected by a unanimous vote to serve as the association’s president for two years (2020–2021). In his new role as president of what has been dubbed “the most powerful voice” for nurses worldwide, Cipriano will set strategic priorities for the organization including building relationships with policymakers at all levels of government; promoting innovation among members; enhancing diversity initiatives; advancing patient safety initiatives; strengthening partnerships with other health care organizations such as hospitals

“This is an exciting time in nursing,” Cipriano said. “Nurses are getting more involved in policy discussions and putting forward proposals to address health care issues.”

This is an exciting time in nursing, said Cipriano. “Nurses are getting more involved in policy discussions and putting forward proposals to address health care issues.”

The nurse’s role as a patient advocate has never been more important or urgent than it is now.

Research has shown that nurses who have strongly positive relationships with their patients are not only more likely to receive praise for excellence in patient care

You might be surprised to learn that research has shown that nurses who have strongly positive relationships with their patients are not only more likely to receive praise for excellence in patient care, but also less likely to leave the profession. In fact, a recent study found that nurses who reported having a positive relationship with their patients were 80% less likely than other nurses to quit within one year of graduation.

Nurses who have good working relationships with their colleagues help reduce stress levels among staff members and improve morale across the board; this means higher productivity levels as well as lower turnover rates!

In addition, strong bonds between nurses and patients can influence how they feel about themselves as well as how well they perform on duty—and thus affect whether or not they stay at work long term after graduation day has come around again (or before).

Conclusion

“Nurses have always worked hard, but this is a time when we need to work even harder,” Cipriano said at the annual ANA member assembly in October. “We have a lot of work ahead of us, but I know that with your support and encouragement we will meet our goals.”
