Purpose: To expand your understanding of a selected historical era in the development of professional nursing that interests you; to write a scientific paper using 7th edition APA formatting.

Tasks: Select a historical era that interests you. Explore nursing and health-related issues encountered during that time in history. Identify one issue confronted during that historical time and relate it to current professional nursing practice. What did nurses do during that time to address the identified issue? Is it possible that same issue might appear again in the future? Do you think that a similar solution that was used during that historical era might be useful today? Why or why not?

Write a 2-page narrative with a title page, abstract, Level 1 headings, intext citations, and a reference page. Use the Sample Student Paper Example found in the 7th edition APA Manual with a running head.

Page 1: Title page: History Behind Nursing Do use a running head (a shortened version of the title - 50 characters or less in ALL CAPS on each page).

Page 2: Abstract: The abstract should open with a sentence that will serve as an introduction to the purpose of your paper. You may reuse the same sentence for your introductory paragraph. Refer to your APA Manual on how to draft an abstract. An abstract is usually a brief outline of the contents you wrote in the paper and typically does not exceed 250 words. At the end of the abstract place the phrase Keywords and denote 3-4 keywords that would describe your paper (for publication and indexing in CINAHL or PubMed).
Pages 3-4: Narrative (2 pages maximum) Use the Sample Student Paper Example in the 7th edition APA Manual to help you format your paper including level 1 headings and Level 2 subheadings if needed. Use intext citations. Refer to your 7th edition APA Manual chapter 8.
