The topic I chose for this weeks PowerPoint is substance abuse among nurses and how impaired nursing impacts the healthcare field. This topic is important because substance abuse is a rising public health concern and nurses are not immune to this crisis. If anything nurses are more likely to fall into a pattern of substance abuse due to the environment they work in and the easy access to several kinds of drugs. In creating this PowerPoint and researching this topic I hope to shine some light on what happens when nurses are found to be working impaired or stealing drugs to feed an addiction they may have. There are rules set in place and safe guards to avoid the theft of drugs and nurses abusing substances especially while working in patient care.

The topic that I have chosen for my Week 8 Powerpoint presentation is nurses in the media. I feel that how nurses are stereotyped is very important to nursing and healthcare. Especially during the these past few years, living through a pandemic, how society views nurses is important. It is our job to use our knowledge and skills to care for others. Nursing stereotypes can be negative and influence the quality of care provided. It can leave doubt in our patients’ trust in us and effect rapport. Nurses are seen as “the help” while doctors get a lot of praise. It is only in the setting itself that one can see the truth in a day as a nurse. I think it is important to also know how to lead by example as a nurse so that more of the truth is being put out.

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.
