long report email

Good Morning, Professor Wireman:

The topic I would like to write about for my long report is short staffing in Nursing. Short staffing has become a personal concern that I deal with consistently. It is unsafe and needs to be addressed nationwide.

As mentioned above, I deal with this issue at my current employer almost daily. I also know that professional colleagues of mine have the same concerns at their employers also. Being short-staffed routinely is causing burnout in the nursing field.

My working thesis is: Short staffing not only creates professional issues but personal distress as well. The specific audience I will address is board members on the State Board of Nursing panel. I will also be targeting administration personnel at employers.

This concludes my proposal for the Long Report. I hope to have addressed all objectives listed in the assignment. I appreciate any feedback and look forward to your reply.

Thank you,

Melissa Whiting

Melissa—

Here’s my input on your topic email:

Topic— very popular, and usually works well in terms of scholarly research and other report objectives.

Thesis— solid enough to get you started. Usually reports on this topic focus on the negative impact on patient care/outcomes, but your approach should work as well.

Audience— may be too diverse to write an effective report (different agendas/priorities). I’d suggest addressing your report to those who could most effectively act on its conclusions. Use your research to figure out who that would be.

Email “grade”— if I’d graded the email, I’d give it an A (all key assignment objectives and Chapter 4 guidelines are addressed; the writing is fine).

Feel free to accelerate the research process, and good luck.
