Policy Papers

[jschut, BSN, RN]

I need to write a policy paper nad really have no idea of the guideline I need.

I wrote a rough draft and was told that I did not follow the criteria of the paper that I needed to.

I am in a mess. This paper is 25% of our final grade, and I am scared half to death!

Any ideas or guidelines for me to follow?

Thanks bunches everyone!

any paper I have ever written, before n school and while in, in the course description usually there is a format instruction sheet. Ask your advisor what your guidlelines are. are they talking APA format?

I did a search on Google "Writing policy papers" and found some sites you may find helpful.

Your instructor will have his/her own ideas about criteria, though. Did she give you any feedback?

Yea, APA format. I have that down, but apparently I had more of the format of an ethical paper and not a policy one.
