Impacts from nurse practitioner shortages in Canadian healthcare and potential solutions.
STEP 1.
Bibliography: Find and review at least six (6) appropriate, high-quality, and credible sources of information relevant to your chosen topic and specific issue. By finding six sources, you are then able to select the three best for your purposes with this assignment.
Appropriate items include academic journal articles, books or book chapters, high-level professional journalism, films or documentaries, or serious websites that are professionally produced and/or academic, and based in good, sound research. Government websites may also be viable. (“Joe-Blow’s” opinion blog is not appropriate.) This means you need to look beyond Google and the Internet. You can use Google Scholar or ResearchGate, for example, but you would do well to avoid Wikipedia.
STEP 2.
Report proposal: Once you complete brainstorming and initial research for your chosen topic, write a research proposal for your report. You could include a research question. Questions help focus and target your research. Most importantly, the proposal needs a ‘working’ claim or thesis, or your central point of argument. The more specific you are the better. The thesis is a direct answer to your research question. Aim for 175-200 words in the proposal, which if done well can become a draft introduction for the final report.
STEP 3.
Create a bibliographical entry using proper APA format for at least three (3) of the six sources.
They must be listed ALPHABETICALLY BY AUTHOR’S LAST NAME.
Remember, there are three parts to documenting research sources, which are the attribution, the in-text citation, and the reference list, and you must use all three.
STEP 4:
Annotations: Immediately following the bibliographical listing for each of your sources, write a summary of the item’s content, and explain its relevance to your project, that is, how the resource will help you expand your report and argue your claim or thesis. What details or perspectives will it add? Each annotation should be 200 words.
