Topic: Social media and self esteem
Required length 1250-1750 words
Minimum of 6-7 credible sources
MLA format
Background and Major Arguments
One or two paragraphs in the beginning of your paper need to demonstrate your familiarity with the history of the argument. This section of your paper will tell how the topic became a controversy and trace that controversy’s overarching concepts through current times.
Additionally, you need to demonstrate a knowledge of all arguments on your issue. You will need to provide your audience with an appropriate knowledge of all the arguments so that your own argument gains credibility and logic.
Your Argument
Your argument will be a crucial component in the paper. You will not just present the various sides of the existing argument and state that you agree with one side of the argument. Instead, you have to use your source material and your own voice to make a case for the argument you support.
Thesis Statement
Your thesis statement is a strong component of the research paper. Your thesis statement will prepare your audience for your argument. When crafted appropriately, your reader will have a good idea of your argument as they read through the paper and will keep this argument in mind throughout the reading, as well prepare them for what you’ll be talking about. This makes convincing your audience much easier.
Counterargument
You must include a counterargument in your paper.  Address the opposing side of your argument and tell why it is incorrect or not likely. Inserting a counterargument not only strengthens your own argument but adds length to your paper, too!
Works Cited
Your Works Cited page will contain a list of all sources used in writing your paper. You must be very careful as you construct your Works Cited page. You do not want to omit a source that is included in your paper and you do not want to include a source that is not in your paper. Remember that your Works Cited page must be in alphabetical order.
Objectives

  1. Articulate a strong thesis
  2. Demonstrate an ability to read, understand, and synthesize research
  3. Demonstrate an ability to construct a brief history
  4. Articulate an argument of your own and use sources to support this argument

Assessment

  1. Strength of the argument and the support of this argument in the paper
  2. Success of the overall argument
  3. Successful synthesis of research and use of sources in your paper

Article Assessment Instructions
The article that you choose must meet a variety of requirements in order to be suitable for this assignment.
(1) The article must be scholarly. I suggest using JSTOR to help with your search, making sure to select “peer reviewed” or “scholarly”. If you have questions about what constitutes a scholarly article, scroll down to the bottom of this page from the Jerry Falwell Library. You will see a very helpful video about scholarly sources. It is labeled “graduate” but the information is correct for all levels of study. https://www.liberty.edu/library/begin-research/?utm_source=Academics&utm_medium=onsite&utm_campaign=blackboard&utm_content=jfl_tab_begin_research .
(2) The article must be substantive. It should be at least 8 pages, not counting pictures/graphs/references/etc. If you find the perfect article that is 7 pages long, feel free to email your instructor (in a timely manner) providing the properly formatted citation and link, to see if it will be approved.
 (3) The article must be timely. It should be published within the last 25 years. If you find the perfect article that is 30 years old, feel free to email your instructor (in a timely manner) providing the properly formatted citation and link, to see if it will be approved.
(4) The article must be relevant to the week’s theme. For example, in Week 2, you must choose an article specifically and clearly relating to one of the central African countries listed in Blackboard. If you choose an article that is not relevant, you will be required to resubmit the assignment and be subject to the appropriate late penalty. If you find the perfect article but you are not certain if it relates to the week’s theme, feel free to email your instructor (in a timely manner) providing the properly formatted citation and link, to see if it will be approved.
(5) The article must be appropriate for this course. It must relate to the historical study of the region. This likely means that it will be published in a historical journal. If you find an article in, the Journal of Microbiology (for example), you are likely on the wrong track. If you find the perfect article, but it is in a non-historical journal or otherwise does not seem to be specifically related to the history of the region, feel free to email your instructor (in a timely manner) providing the properly formatted citation and link, to see if it will be approved.
(6) The article must be accessible for you. (a) The article should not be in a language you cannot read very well. (It probably must be in English—see point 7 below.) (b) JSTOR includes many book chapters. Feel free to choose a book chapter that otherwise meets the requirements for this assignment, but keep in mind that it may be more difficult to address the author’s intentions and thesis in using a source that is only part of the author’s work. (c) Do not choose a book for this assignment. There will not be time for you to assess a book properly.
(7) The article must be accessible for your instructor. (a) You are required to provide a permanent link to the article as demonstrated in both of the citations above. If you do not provide that link, or if the link does not work, your instructor may require you to resubmit the assignment with the proper information, and be subject to any applicable late penalties. Alternatively, your instructor may deduct a 10% penalty from your Article Assessment grade for failing to submit the assignment properly. (b) The article must be in English. If you find the perfect article, in a language that you understand very well, feel free to email your instructor (in a timely manner) providing the properly formatted citation and link, to see if it will be approved.
Submit this assignment is by Sunday at 11:59 p.m. (ET) of the Module/Weeks in which it is due.

Assignment 2: Nursing Theory Analysis Paper on Dorthea Orem Overview/Description: The purpose of this assignment is to describe, evaluate and discuss application of a nursing grand or mid-range theory. This assignment also provides the learner an opportunity to connect theory and research to nursing phenomena. Learners will develop an 8-10 page paper (excluding the title page and references) using APA style to address the elements listed below. Theory/Author Name and Background Select a Grand or Mid-Range Theory that is appropriate to your practice setting. Describe the theorist’s background in detail and discuss how their experiences have impacted the theory development. Examine crucial references for the original and/or current work of the theorist and other authors writing about the selected theory. Identify the phenomenon of concern or problems addressed by the theory. Theory Description Explain whether the theory uses deductive, inductive or retroductive reasoning. Provide evidence to support your conclusion. Describe the major concepts of the theory. How are they defined? (theoretically and/or operationally) Is the author consistent in the use of the concepts and other terms in the theory? Interpret how the concepts are defined. Implicitly or explicitly? Examine the relationships (propositions) among the major concepts. Evaluation Identify explicit and implicit assumptions (values/beliefs) underlying the theory. On what assumptions does the theory build? Examine if the theory has a description of the four concepts of the nursing metaparadigm. If so, how are they explained in the theory? If the metapardigm is not explained, what elements do you see as relevant to the theory and why? Discuss the clarity of the theory. Did it have lucidness and consistency? Application Examine how the theory would guide nursing actions. Describe specifically how you can use this theory in your area of nursing (Practice, Education, Informatics or Administration).

Formulate a PICOT statement for your capstone project.

A PICOT starts with a designated patient population in a particular   clinical area and identifies clinical problems or issues that arise   from clinical care. The intervention should be an independent,   specified nursing change intervention. The intervention cannot require   a provider prescription. Include a comparison to a patient population   not currently receiving the intervention, and specify the timeframe   needed to implement the change process.

Formulate a PICOT statement using the PICOT format provided in the   assigned readings. The PICOT statement will provide a framework for   your capstone project.

In a paper of 500-750 words, clearly identify the clinical problem   and how it can result in a positive patient outcome.

Make sure to address the following on the PICOT statement:

  1. Evidence-Based Solution

150 words no reference required. Respond to the post below peer responseAs students it looks like there are many ways we can be actively involved. We can take part in the AANA Student Writing Contest play in the Anesthesia College Bowl serve on different committees such as 1) education 2) practice public relations and health and wellness 3) the CRNA political action committee and attend the Nurse Anesthesia Annual Congress meetings (which combines networking evidence-based education and the latest technological advances in anesthesia in a new location every year). Something that I really support is the Student Mentoring Program that’s coordinated by the AANA Communications Committee. Every year at the AANA Mid-Year Assembly a group of SRNAs get to spend a day with experienced CRNA leaders. This allows networking which I think is really important for our profession and the primary goal of this program is to mentor and produce future leaders of the AANA . Past CRNAs have worked and lobbied so hard for our profession – we wouldn’t be where we are today if it weren’t for those who have fought and advocated for us.One of our classmates mentioned in DB #3 that since physician anesthesiologists make so much money they are probably able to put a lot more money into the ASA. While that is probably true we should not let that deter us. We could donate to the AANA as much as we can even if it’s $20 and we can have fundraisers to help raise money too. The RISE Above Campaign is seeking to do what we all as students agree on and wish the public were better informed on – to prove the value and worth of CRNAs. This is a three year campaign that aims to raise $1 million to fund Health Services Research that will inform healthcare policy affecting patient care processes and patient/provider interactions (RISE Above).There is a website called The Future of Anesthesia Care Today and it is awesome. It talks about who we are what our education and training is like and why we are the most cost-effective choice when it comes to choosing an anesthesia provider. This website has numerous research studies to back up what they are recommending. It would be nice if we could somehow direct a lot of traffic to this website and maybe distribute it on social media to help with public awareness.Something that interests me personally as far as gaps in the literature goes – I wasn’t able to find any publications or abstracts on CRNAs vs dental anesthesia providers regarding patient safety and outcomes. Ialso couldn’t find much research on neonates and the OB population – I’m sure after starting clinicals next year topics will come to mind that I might want to further explore.I agree with my classmate in that it wouldn’t hurt to have more CRNA research. After looking over the AANA website it looks like much research has been done or is happening currently. But I think we need to think of better ways to help distribute that research especially to the public and to politicians. As politicians and state laws have a direct influence on how we are allowed to practice where we can practice independently and whatnot maybe we can meet with the politicians of all the non opt-out states to see where they get their influences from how they came to their decision and what we can do to convince them that we should be allowed to practice independently (I believe one of our classmates came up with this idea first courtesy of John and I support his idea). Other classmates have mentioned using social media as that is something that is very popular and a good way to help reach millions. Johnson&Johnson has a Discover Nursing Campaign with TV commercials and a website dedicated to achieving a nursing career with information on how to become a nurse NCLEX study tips job interview advice and so much more. It would be nice to have a Discover CRNA Campaign. Maybe as student CRNAs we can volunteer at local high schools and introduce our profession on a career day or go to nursing schools and talk about who we are and what we do. Our research is strong and we have a lot of it but what good is it if we only circulate it amongst ourselves? I really think we should continue to advocate for our profession be active in the AANA and help educate the public on who we are.
