2. The paper should be one to two pages long, plus reference page. This is an estimate to guide you and not a strict requirement. The goal is for you to end up with a 15-page paper, suitable for publication. When you have finished your Education Practicum Project in NR622. Please use the NR621 Education Practicum Project paper template attached to this assignment to develop your proposal. You will use this document throughout your Education Practicum project.
Preparing the paper
By the beginning of NR621, you should have already identified an educational issue and accumulated several references that will help you develop the introduction to your Education Practicum Project paper. Work with your mentor and instructor to finalize your PICOT question. Impeccable APA formatting is expected since submission for publication is the goal.
