moved to nursing student assistance forum to elicit further response.
Is this a nursing class or a writing class?
What are the paramaters for the assignment such as what do you need to cover and what type of references do you need?
We will assist you but not do your homework assignments for you.

Can't help on your topic choice...but can help with this:
APA formatting info:
APA Style
APA formatting info in plain English:
Purdue OWL: APA Formatting and Style Guide
APA is the standard formatting style used in nursing programs to format papers and cite sources. The sooner you become proficient at APA basics, the better off you will be in school...especially since most schools will take off points or even fail you for an assignment that is not correctly cited with APA.
Best of luck!

Purdue is awesome! I love their citation website. As for the essay, you could write about why you want to be a nurse & maybe talk about some famous nurses?
