I really don't have to stick to neonatal issues, I just enjoy reading and writing about them more, I guess. My goal is to be Neonatal Nurse Practitioner. This paper is just for a core English class, and the more simple the topic, the better, for the sake of the class. I haven't started really, because I'm home spending time with my family over the weekend, but I'm going back to my apartment and school tomorrow, so I am going to try to at least have the research done by then.

That is true...but turn it away from abortion and toward actual NICU related stuff? Where would I find that information? I'm in Alabama.

Hmm, then I also have to make it definitional...but I definitely think I am going to use this topic.

I don't...I'm not in the nursing program yet, which is why this is kind of a hard thing...to write about things I am not yet exposed to. I don't know how to send you a private message, but I can give you my e-mail address... [email protected] I would love to talk more about it!

Thank you so much for the sources...I believe I will use this topic, and I know the sources will he helpful. :)

I think this might be a good thing to dig deeper into...although I didn't see it as a problem when my cousin had twins in the NICU in Birmingham, I have read a lot about it. The critical issue question could be something like, "Is the staff to patient ratio compromising patient care?" The thing is, we have to lay it out like this. X is (or is not) a Y. The example he gave us is this: Beauty pageants (X) are not sexist events (Y). Then you must define your set of criteria. What is a sexist event.... So the problem I am having is laying out a nursing issue in this format... :uhoh21:

Yes, there are, but sometimes it is better to hear what real nurses are facing as far as ethical issues go, and then I can take that to the journals and research it.

I saw that forum, and I have been skimming it...he just has so many sets of criteria that the paper has to meet that it's hard to find an issue relating to nursing only...excluding the ethics the doctors face, etc. But he definitely wants it to be ethical or controversial.

help! i am a pre-nursing student at uab, and my english teacher has given us all the assignment of finding a critical issue question in our field of study and writing a definitional argument about it... i am having a hard time coming up with anything to write about. i know stem cell research and euthanasia are both high on the list, but they seem so overdone that i really want to try to find something else. i plan to specialize in neonatal intensive care, so anything relating to that would be wonderful. most of all, it just has to be debatable... any help would be greatly appreciated.
