Assignment: Capella University ?humanitarianism Within My Career Field Informative Essay
Question Description
Develop a one-page informative essay, addressing a concept or subject that drives your academic and career interests within your field.
Your quest continues as you apply your knowledge of the writing stages to the assessments for the second theme of the course: writing to inform. The purpose of writing an informative essay is to provide information and explain a concept. The purpose is not to give a personal opinion or tell a story.
You will start at the initial stage of writing again and complete the prewriting and outlining for this essay. Draw on the wisdom and experience you have acquired to further develop your academic writing skills.
Here are more heroes who use their experience for good:
Dr. Margaret Chan, director general of the World Health Organization, successfully led the response to the H5N1 flu outbreak in 1997 and SARS outbreak of 2003 in Hong Kong.
Bono, the lead singer of the band U2, is also an activist who used his platform to create the organizations ONE (an organization committed to end extreme poverty) and RED (an organization committed to raising awareness about the AIDS crisis).
DEMONSTRATION OF PROFICIENCY
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
Competency 2: Integrate into text the appropriate use of scholarly sources and evidence.
Select a scholarly library article relevant to a chosen informative essay topic.
Competency 3: Apply prewriting, planning, drafting, and revision skills.
Apply in text the standard writing conventions for the discipline, including structure, voice, person, tone, and citation formatting.
Competency 4: Apply accepted style conventions and written expression skills.
Apply proper formatting, including a title page, correct margins, font, and spacing.
Produce text with minimal grammar, usage, spelling, and mechanical errors.
The purpose of your essay is to inform the reader about a topic within your discipline. Identify and explain how a concept, a subject, or an experience within your discipline drives your academic and career interests. You can choose from the following disciplines: nursing, public health, business, information technology, or psychology. For this assessment, compose your outline for the informative essay. Find one peer-reviewed, academic article from the Capella library to use as support.
PREPARATION
Begin your library research by going to the Capella University Library and searching using the Summon search tool. Locate one article in the library that contains information about your selected topic. Remember: You will write both your informative and persuasive essays on this topic.
Go to the Capella University Library and locate the Summon search box.
Click Advanced Search.
Enter your search term in the box. Check Items with full text online and Scholarly materials, including peer-reviewed under the “Limit to” filter. This way, you will know that your results are both in full text (so you will be able to read the entire article online) and that they meet the important requirement of being scholarly and peer-reviewed by other experts in the field.
Remember that research is a skill set that, like writing, takes ongoing practice. For search word guidance, see the video Choosing and Using Keywords from the General Education Information Research Skills Guide. Also, feel free to Ask a Librarian for help.
Remember: The purpose of an informative essay is to provide information and explain a concept. In this assessment, you are not persuading or trying to convince your reader of something. Ask yourself: What does my reader need to know?
ASSESSMENT INSTRUCTIONS
Complete the following:
Create an outline for your informative essay.
Select a scholarly library article relevant to a chosen informative essay topic.
List the article at the end of your outline on a separate reference page.
Credit the author of the article within the outline.
Apply in text the standard writing conventions for the discipline, including structure, voice, person, tone, and citation formatting.
Apply proper formatting, including a title page, correct margins, font, and spacing.
Produce text with minimal grammar, usage, spelling, and mechanical errors.
Use the Developing an Outline [PDF] to guide you as you develop your outline.
Use the Paper Formatting Example [DOCX] to guide your writing and formatting.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
Your assessment should also meet the following requirements:
Written communication: Ensure written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.
Standard formatting: Include one-inch margins, appropriate headers, and a title page.
Length: Submit one double-spaced page.
Font and font size: Use Times New Roman, 12-point font.
You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CLASS
Discussion Questions (DQ)
Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions asked, include a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words.
Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source.
One or two sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words.
I encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your responses.
Weekly Participation
Your initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately.
In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three replies.
Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work).
Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week.
APA Format and Writing Quality
Familiarize yourself with APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for APA paper templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if required).
Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation.
I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition.
Use of Direct Quotes
I discourage overutilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the Masters’ level and deduct points accordingly.
As Masters’ level students, it is important that you be able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other resources. Simply restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate an understanding of the content or critical analysis of the content.
It is best to paraphrase content and cite your source.
LopesWrite Policy
For assignments that need to be submitted to LopesWrite, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me.
Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes.
Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own?
Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score.
Late Policy
The university’s policy on late assignments is 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ replies.
Please communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I am happy to be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out an extension based on extenuating circumstances.
If you do not communicate with me before submitting an assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect.
I do not accept assignments that are two or more weeks late unless we have worked out an extension.
As per policy, no assignments are accepted after the last day of class. Any assignment submitted after midnight on the last day of class will not be accepted for grading.
Communication
Communication is so very important. There are multiple ways to communicate with me:
Questions to Instructor Forum: This is a great place to ask course content or assignment questions. If you have a question, there is a good chance one of your peers does as well. This is a public forum for the class.
Individual Forum: This is a private forum to ask me questions or send me messages. This will be checked at least once every 24 hours.

My goal as an MSN student is to one day become an Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner. The peer-review article I chose is titled “Acute Care Nurse Practitioner Students’ Perceptions of a Debriefing Experience After a Cardiac Emergency High-Fidelity Simulation: A Qualitative Study” (2021). This article can be found in AACN Advanced Critical Care, a journal published by the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (2021). As nurses advance their role to becoming acute care nurse practitioners, they need specialized training to prepare them. This study uses a qualitative approach to explore students’ perceptions on whether simulation on emergent situations and debriefing experiences would grow their leadership-related learning abilities (Ali et al., 2021).
Because online search databases typically contain only abstracts, I found it difficult to locate a peer-reviewed journal article in its entirety unless subscribed to that database. Also, after using Walden’s database, I had a hard time locating an article that was recently published, and pertinent to advanced practice nursing in a critical care setting. I am a member of AACN and I have utilized its evidence-based resources for many purposes throughout my career. Experts explain that evidence-based practice is the integration of individual clinical expertise with the best available external clinical evidence from systematic research (Al-Jundi & Sakka, 2017). The AACN is a useful database for students and professionals because it is a professional organization that provides peer-reviewed research that is evidence-based as well as carefully evaluated healthcare information by the guidance of fully qualified experts. This database also includes research and data services that are centered around baccalaureate and graduate nursing programs.
The “AACN Scope and Standards for Acute Care Nurse Practitioner Practice” describes and measures the expected level of practice and professional performance for acute care nurse practitioners and offers a practical tool for students, educators, and advanced practice nurses caring for high acuity or critically ill patients and their families (AACN, 2021). Therefore, I would recommend this database to my colleagues who have a goal is becoming an acute care nurse practitioner one day.

This is insightful Kelly, the article selected, “Acute Care Nurse Practitioner Students’ Perceptions of a Debriefing Experience after a Cardiac Emergency High-Fidelity Simulation: A Qualitative Study” (2021), is relevant to the topic or area of study. Specialized training is necessary for the nurses who want to advance their roles in acute care (Ali et al., 2021). The article contains essential information required in the course or the area of study. From the article, the abstract only contain basic information about the topic under the study. However, the article can be accessed from the link provided (White et al., 2017). The full article contain advanced information and data required for the entire study. The full document also contain comprehensive information about the topic under the study. Walden University database contain numerous articles that can be applied to research about the same topic (Bramer et al., 2018). To determine the exact article required in the research processes, the application of keywords or phrases is essential. These keywords provided direct link to the document required.

Peer-Reviewed Article on COVID-19 and Mental Health in the United States
The significant impact of the pandemic on the population’s mental health has been one of the main reasons I pursued my MSN in Psychiatric-Mental Health degree. Its effects on individuals from all walks of life, regardless of race and gender, have been hard to ignore. For this discussion, the article I chose is titled COVID-19 and mental health equity in the United States by Purtle (2020). In this journal, the author discussed that socially disadvantaged groups like those in the low-income brackets and those belonging to racial/ethnic minorities experienced more pandemic-related psychiatric illnesses (Purtle, 2020). Using the database APA PsycInfo, I keyed the words “COVID-19” and “mental health” on the first search field and “United States” on the second field. To expand my search, I included the Boolean “AND.” The search resulted in 470 articles. One setback I encountered was the vast number of articles I generated from my initial inquiry and narrowed my search. To focus my search, I used the “TI” Titles from the optional field, chose FullText, and publication years 2019 to 2021 as my limiters, resulting in 17 articles (Walden University Library, n.d.).
There are many valuable databases available for research and scientific studies. APA PsycInfo is one of them. Like many databases, it contains trusted and credible peer-reviewed articles. However, APA PsycInfo would be more beneficial for those pursuing studies on behavioral and social sciences as it has more choices of psychiatric journals than the MEDLINE database (Eady, Wilczynski, & Haynes, 2008). APA PsycInfo contains one of the most extensive selections, more than 5million scientific papers, focusing on this field (American Psychological Association, n.d.). Therefore, it would be a useful resource for anyone interested in this field of study. I would highly recommend this to my colleagues also pursuing MSN in Psychiatry-Mental Health.

NURS 6003 Quiz: APA Style and Format
As a nurse embarking on an advanced degree, you are developing the characteristics of a scholar-practitioner, which include strong communication skills. Writing in a scholarly manner involves supporting your thoughts with evidence from the literature and appropriately using APA formatting.
One of the challenges of scholarly writing is paraphrasing the thoughts of others in your work. Paraphrasing, and correctly citing the original author for his or her ideas, allows you to take the ideas of others, summarize them, and incorporate them into your own writing. When summarizing the ideas of others, it is important to avoid plagiarizing (i.e., copying the words and ideas of others as though they were your own). In addition to expanding your knowledge of APA Style, this modules’ Learning Resources help you distinguish between paraphrasing and plagiarizing.
This Quiz will help you determine how your understanding of these concepts and preparedness to reflect them in your work. The questions presented on the Quiz are derived from the Resources related to APA writing standards, plagiarism, and academic integrity.

Week 5 Discussion
DQ1 Select a state or federal law or regulation related to patient safety that has been implemented within the last five years requiring hospitals or any other health care organizations to change the way they manage the delivery of care. Discuss the changes that have occurred because of this law or regulation.
Additionally, discuss the technology associated with either your selected law/regulation or a similar one. Are there ethical dilemmas that have resulted from technology changes when delivering care to patients or patient safety? Explain the dilemmas and how they might be resolved.
DQ2 Evidence-based practice is extremely important in nursing. Throughout your master’s program, you will complete research on various topics. Knowing how to construct a strong problem statement and complete a critical analysis of the available information to write a literature review is essential.
This week, you will write a problem statement and perform a literature review in preparation for your ethical issues debate presentation. Share your problem statement in this discussion so that you can review each other’s work and provide peer-to-peer feedback. Also, describe what you think are the most important learning takeaways from the literature review resources you reviewed.
Follow the instructions in the bullets below to direct you where to find resources on problem statements and literature reviews:

Career Fair Charisma
Career Fair Charisma
Objectives
Use effective verbal and nonverbal communication when delivering a speech
Identify the audience and environmental variables that influence speech delivery
Apply common techniques for accepting and managing listener feedback
Overview of the Task
The process of understanding audience-related and environmental aspects, as well as altering speech content and delivery to fit to the situation, will be explored in this case study.
Deliverables
Step 1: Think about the situation.
Your professor has requested that you give a speech at an upcoming job fair to persuade the audience to enroll in the speech class in which you are presently enrolled.
The job fair will be hosted in an area of town with a low unemployment rate, and those who attend will most likely be from middle- to upper-middle-class households.
Many of them work full-time and want to advance their professions through higher education, but they don’t want to waste time or money on classes that aren’t directly related to their present work or aspirations.
You won’t be able to gather all of the characteristics of all of the career fair participants ahead of time, but you will know that the manner you explain the benefits of taking this course and the language you use will influence the attendees’ decision to enroll or not.
Step 2: Respond to the questions.
In a one-page (250-word) paper, respond to the following scenario-related questions:
How would you structure your thesis to avoid unfavorable responses from potential applicants who expect higher compensation and greater benefits when they initially start with the company?
What language techniques would you employ in your speech to make it more appealing to the overall audience?
What tactics could you employ to help everyone in the audience find common ground?
What would you alter about the way you delivered your speech if the audience was largely low-income women looking to enter or re-enter the workforce?
While the focus of this post is on techniques for a strong presence and resume evaluations at Career Fairs, many of these tips are applicable to any situation when you are manning a booth to advertise your product or service.
Career fairs are mainly promotional events.
Every now and again, we all need to market our businesses.
Take the day off and do something you enjoy.
Don’t be concerned about the pile of papers on your desk.
Enjoy meeting new people in a different setting.
You must plan ahead of time for your process in order to identify what to develop, what to do, and what to bring with you, just as you would for any valuable marketing package.
Make preparations to:
Define your target market with care.
There’s nothing like walking to a Career Fair expecting to see grads in a variety of industries and instead seeing a slew of lost souls with pierced body parts and hand-scrawled resume outlines.
Get to know the fair’s major boss.
Make a (free) contribution to the fair.
If you enjoy public speaking, suggest that you are available to talk to the group on a relevant topic.
Your offer will, at the very least, place you in a good light.
When the big day approaches, something as easy as sending guests to the appropriate place could save the convention organizers some cash.
In this case, strive to put oneself in the position of being the final point of contact before the participants enter.
Distribute your business card to everybody and everyone.
Bring a stack of business cards worth $50 to $100.
Because they will know they are spreading a less-than-stellar résumé once you review their materials, your business card will be burning a hole in their pocket.
Demonstrate that you’re eager and interested in what you’re doing.
Don’t wait for people to come to you and don’t take a seat.
Most of the time, circulate to the side or in front of your booth.
Collaborate with your booth partner to tell people to call you!
“WE can do this,” say good things.
The majority of people seek a companion because they are unsure about how to proceed.
Step out in front when no one else is nearby.
“Could I provide you a free resume critique?” say “Hello.”
Make it appear as if you’re handing out $100 banknotes.
To stimulate business, use different approaches at the same time.
Have other media working while you’re circulating and proactively approaching participants.
Make a looping PowerPoint presentation to show behind you.
Display samples as well as your degrees, certificates, and honors.
Make sure you check with the event organizers ahead of time to see if you’ll have the electronic connections you’ll need for your media presentations.
Then, while that passive technique is generating leads, you can adopt a more aggressive strategy by contacting folks directly.
If you make effective use of your brief interactions, half of them should call you.
Take-out options should be available.
Offer free copies of career newsletters, periodicals, or even copies of pieces you’ve published in the field.
If you have pens with your company name and contact information, you don’t have to give them away for free.
Instead, you can remark, “Please take the pen with you,” if someone exhibits a lot of curiosity.
Personal information should be recorded on a sign-up sheet or in notes.
Request names, phone numbers, and email addresses in a prominent location.
You’ll want to direct everyone who is interested in that way.
Patrons will notice that there is something in it for them right away if you give some draw prizes as incentives.
Ascertain that there are two people in the booth.
You’ll want to have another person present while you’re circulating or being pulled aside to let folks know they’ve been seen and to provide assistance.
Furthermore, when you offer freebies or have samples spread out, it might be highly attractive to some more nefarious sorts who will take everything is offered.
An extra set of eyes can assist prevent theft.
Dress for the occasion.
Dress one level above the target market, just as you would for an interview.
Professional attire is nearly always required.
Once again, the importance of the image cannot be overstated.
For the perfect professional, you can’t appear “too” professional, and the lower-end professionals would choose someone like you over the Nike guy.
Also, make sure you’re wearing a name tag with your company’s name and logo on it.
Determine the location of your booth.
People passing by the booths require signage and elaborate displays.
They notice employers who have spent a lot of money to attract their target demographic at other booths.
Then they arrive at your booth, where one individual sits alone at a desk, sifting through resumes.
Isn’t it a little unappealing?
You should have a banner behind you that clearly states what we’re doing.
Free is a good thing.
“Free Resume Evaluation – Ensure You Have Every Competitive Advantage,” for example.
Don’t forget to promote yourself ahead of time on your website and in your voicemail message.
Within a few weeks of the event, inform all potential clients that they are welcome to see you in person.
This appeals to them.

Assignment:Combining Content and Argument
Assignment 2: Combining Content, Argument, and Structure—The Workshop
The workplace has become increasingly diverse and global. This diversity has dramatically changed the dynamic of the workplace over the last 50 years. Regardless of race, ethnicity, and gender, people want to be treated fairly.
Research workplace harassment using the following resources:
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. (2002, June 27). Facts about sexual harassment. Retrieved fromhttp://www.eeoc.gov/facts/fs-sex.html
Workplace Bullying Institute Web site. Retrieved fromhttp://www.workplacebullying.org/
Suppose you work for an organization that currently does not have an antiharassment policy. You are going to develop an antiharassment policy for the organization and persuade the CEO to adopt it. Create a PowerPoint presentation to convince the CEO of the need for such a policy. Use the speaker notes area to write explanations and arguments and to cite sources. Address the following in your presentation:
What is the purpose of your proposed antiharassment policy?
Why would implementing this policy be beneficial for the CEO? What’s in it for him or her?
Why is it important to have such a policy in place? If the basic purpose is to stop harassing behavior, why is that important? Why is harassment detrimental to an organization?
What is your communication plan? How should the CEO present the policy to the staff? What specific communication methods do you recommend, and what will the communication say?
Develop an eight- to ten-slide presentation in PowerPoint format. Apply APA standards where appropriate for references.

Assignment:Combining Content and Argument
You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
