Description
Topic/Issue: Nursing Shortage
Argue the issue from the position of a nurse leader, being either in
favor of or against it. You must also provide the counter-argument. (There are always two sides to every
argument. Advocating for issues that matter to you is important but what’s equally as important
is understanding those issues from the other perspective. Explore your topic in the published peer–
reviewed scholarly literature (evidence). Depending on your topic, it may be important to also explore
public opinion, position statements of related professional organizations, and/or legislative actions
related to the topic. Develop your argument with support from relevant scholarly literature. Begin
with an introduction leading to a thesis statement then develop the topic using section headings
specific to the major points you discuss. Conclude with a summary. Do not include an abstract. The
body of the paper (excluding the title page and references) is to be 6 pages in length (minimum 1,500
words), using APA format.
