For Expert_Researcher

Compose a paper, which describes the nursing issue you have identified in your practicum setting.

Consider the following questions:

· Why is this issue important to your practicum site and nursing?

· How does this issue affect the staff/patients/clients at your practicum facility?

· What is the current state of this issue in health care: is it a problem in our country/global issue, other local organizations, or is this specific to your facility?

· What is your approach to researching this problem?

Remember this is the part of your research paper where you will be justifying why this is an important problem, therefore you need to make the case that this is an important issue. You do this by providing background information, statistical support, and specific information about the issue at your practicum.

Make sure to integrate theory and knowledge from the following areas into your paper:

· General education courses

· Nursing courses

· Your Nursing background and experience
