National Patient Safety Goals Assignment 2
You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.

Textbook
Finkelman, A. (2016). Leadership and Management for Nurses: Core Competencies for Quality Care (3rd Edition).
Proofread your work. Dependence on your computer’s spell- and grammar-checker implies a lack of effort on your behalf, and your grade will suffer accordingly. Mispelled words and grammatical errors will be fined. Before submitting your paper, read it aloud and in silence, making any required adjustments. It helps to have a buddy proofread your writing for obvious mistakes. Handwritten corrections beat uncorrected errors.
Use a 10-12 point typeface (10-12 characters per inch). Smaller type, narrow margins, and single-spaced articles are difficult to read. It is best to let your essay go above the recommended page count than to attempt and squeeze it in.
Increased leading (space between lines), kerning (space between letters) and any other such attempts to “padding” a paper are improper, waste trees, and will not trick your professor.
The paper must be double-spaced with a one-inch margin on all sides. If submitting a hard copy, utilize white paper and dark ink. Reading your essay will make it difficult to follow your reasoning.
