Help with a "Position" paper

[audballscow]

Im in my final semester of nursing school and one of the papers we have to write is a "Position" paper. We need to pick a topic and present it to our school academic advisors, choose a side and support it. There job is to argue it and see if I can stand with my position on the topic. Problem is, I am the most easy going person in the world and support everything, im having the hardest time finding a topic. I know the broad ones like abortion or assisted suicide. I'd like a procedural topic. If you have something else I would really love to hear it.

Ps. My ultimate goal is to be a wound care nurse, any topics on this specialty would be awsome.

THanks!

Maybe concerning a women's choice against induction/epidural/cesarean during the birthing process against medical advise? I recently saw a documentary "The Business of Being Born" and those topics were mentioned...really interesting. I'm not in school yet so my exposure to other possible topics is zero :) Hope it helps.

I'm not sure how your clinicals work, but many students graduate without real-life hands-on experience with skills like IV insertion. If there are limitations on the skills you can perform in clinicals, you could make the case that students should be allowed to do more.

infant circumcision? it's certainly controversial with lots of research to support both sides. there's a small wound involved
