Upvote for you, Im a veteran in the exact same situation, though Im doing BS in psych. LEO career goals sort of disappeared due to competition and getting older. I hope to start MSW or related helping profession grad school next year.

I would suggest this book if you are going to do research,
and this one for general writing. Both come in handy for APA formatting, especially the first one.

Generally, just from what you said your current interests are, I think you may find it interesting to examine the connection between bodily health and psychology by looking the four humors and how that influenced temperament theory and personality theories. You could touch on the basics of these ideas then write about/critically examine how early theories of personality development and progressed evolved over time, up to 1879 (or any point where you see a major change prior to that, it's up to you). This would provide some information/straight history, but would not exclusively be informational since there would be an analytical component to it as well (which, I would think, should be the primary focus on the paper).
Granted, with only 4 pages you'll have to be pretty succinct overall, but it would include some really interesting areas.

Check this for just a basic bit of information on this, and I'm sure further research will help you quite a bit, and there should be no shortage of information available in regard to this.

Another topic you might find to be interesting would be phrenology.

If you're into the history of mental illness, you could look into how ideas progressed over time and even how individuals with illness were treated prior to 1879. This could be quite fascinating as earlier perceptions of psychopathology are VERY different than they are today, and the treatment for disorders was often very cruel. The analytical component of this area could be related to changes through time, dehumanization of the mentally ill, social stigmas, the perceived effectiveness of treatments, how it relates to religion, and the impact treatment could have had on the ill (just for a start, there are many, many directions you could take this!).


Don't worry about the paper being super profound! It's your first "real" paper, as you said, and it's a short one. It NEVER hurts to talk to your professor about topics, too, and see if they will give you some input if they think what you're considering is along the lines of what they're looking for, or maybe even help you find a clear direction to go in.

APA is not too bad learn, and since you're majoring in psychology, you should really invest in the APA manual. Be absolutely sure you get the 6th edition, there were several important changes made in this version. If you're not up for ordering that just yet, Purdue's online writing lab is very helpful with APA, and a lot of students use it. Again, it never hurts to talk to your professor about APA - you can get a feel for exactly how much they are of a stickler for it (it can get absurd with some professors), and if you're struggling with things, they should be more than willing to help - let's face it, it's their job! Since this is one of your first papers, I also suggest that you have an honest proofreader look over this before you submit the final version. It's hard to catch errors sometimes when you write it yourself, plus an outside perspective is definitely a plus.

Also, if you find you have any specific APA (or other) questions, feel free to PM me :)

To answer this question you first need to research effective (or caring) nursing communication. You need to know the correct forms of communicating with patients before you can decide what is wrong or right about the situation in the case study.

Are you having problems finding sources of information to write the paper, a hard time with format, or both?

Finding sources:
Does your school give you access to journal articles? There should be tons of journal articles related to communication and nursing. If your school doesn’t give you access even a google or google scholar search for nursing and communication should bring up peer reviewed journal articles you can use and site.

Also, fundamentals of nursing courses usually cover topics like this so if you have a fundamentals book or can find one at the library check there.

If you are still having difficulty, many university libraries have someone who can help you find sources for writing papers. They aren’t going to tell you how or what to write but can help in finding the information you are looking for.

Difficulty with formatting?
I’m going to assume you’re required to write in APA format since most nursing schools require it. If you are having a hard time with APA format you should get the APA manual . It tells you exactly how to write in APA format.

If you don’t have time or resources to buy the manual, check out Purdue Writing Lab website. It’s a great resource for APA format.

If all else fails you can always ask your instructor for guidance.

Good luck, I hope this was helpful.
