Paper is based off of Jean Watsons, Nursing: The Philosophy and Science of Caring book.
Being a skilled nurse requires more than the technical skills listed in the job description. Throughout this course, we have examined Watson’s Caritas Processes, which emphasize the importance of not just caring for clients’ physical health, but also their emotional and spiritual state. You will continue to examine and implement Watson’s Caritas Processes throughout nursing school, so a solid understanding of Jean Watson’s Caritas Process is crucial.
For this assignment, you will explore one of Jean Watson’s Caritas Processes in greater depth and construct a written paper following 7th edition APA citation.

Academic Writing:
In scholarly or academic writing, there are some tips to help keep the writing flow logical and meaningful.
Keep the nouns related to your main topic the same, and switch up the verbs and adjectives when writing.
Make sure each paragraph has a minimum of four sentences.
Incorporate the MEAL method where:
M= Main point, which is often answering a grading criteria for the paper.
E= Evidence (citation) and/or example.
A= Analysis of why this is important, the advantages/disadvantages, compare/contrast, or implications of your E-sentence.
L= Link (transition) to the next paragraph.
If you get stuck writing one of the four sentences, type in blue font “NEED A or L” for need an analysis or link sentence, and then go back later and fill in that aspect in your paper. Most nurses find the “A” and the “L” the most difficult.
Keep the thesaurus function open in Microsoft Word to help use a variety of verbs. Remember to keep the nouns related to your main topic the same throughout the paper, using various verbs and adjectives in the writing.
