Preparing the Paper

The following are the best practices in preparing this paper.

• Read the brochure carefully and take notes. Highlighting important points has been helpful to many students.
• Title page: Include title of your paper, your name, College , NR224 Fundamentals—Skills, faculty name, and the date. Center all items between the left and right margins, beginning approximately 3 inches from the top margin.

NOTE: This style of cover page is required by the college and is a variance of APA formatting.

• Use the CCN library or online library to find current nursing research that supports your findings.
• The brochure you select must be properly cited in the body of your paper and on the reference list.
