Write at least a 1-1.5-page paper (APA format) on a topic in your intended field. As an example, if your chosen field of study is Nursing, write about the topic of “Nursing.” However, please consider the title of your paper and make sure that the title is not too broad, for example: Nursing. Instead, be creative and use at tile, such as: “Nursing in the modern computer age” Just remember, a research paper is not about: “Why did I choose nursing as my field of study.” Rather, a good research topic or subject for this paper could be: “Nursing in low income neighborhoods.”

Do not use any type of script fontDepending on typeface chosen: Usually 12pt or 14pt are acceptableParagraphs should be 1.5-spaced or 2-spaced (double spaced)
Be careful: Word automatically adds extra space after the normal 1.5 and double spacing! Therefore you may have to remove “spacing after paragraph”If it looks like there is too much space between lines, then there probably is too much space!

Title page, abstract and reference page (does not count towards the 1.5 pages)A least 2 references- include direct quotations and paraphrasing no long quotations (30+ words)
