Tattoos are extremely popular forms of

\nHowever, there is a possibility of infection such as hepatitis if needles are
\nreused without proper sterilization. In addition, there is a risk that your
\nbody may react to some of the pigments used, and initiate an autoimmune
\nreaction. Do you think that these concerns are valid, realistic and legitimate,
\nor is the medical community overreacting to something that is simply an example

Research Paper<\/p>\n
Assignment Instructions:<\/p>\n
Most of you are taking this course with the
\nintention of pursuing a career in healthcare. I always encourage my students to
\nresearch the career they plan on striving for to ensure that they “know
\nwhat they’re getting into”. I’ve seen plenty of students spend a lot of
\ntime and money to get an education only to discover that, for whatever reasons,
\nthey are not interested in the “9 to 5” routine of their chosen
\ncareer once they graduate. Therefore, your research paper is going to be
\ndevoted to any health related career of your choice. This paper will enable to
\nyou to do the research behind the career you are considering and gain a better
\nunderstanding about the job demands, rewards, etc. In addition to this
\nresearch, I highly recommend that you take some “free time” to shadow
\na professional in the field of your choice or volunteer in the environment for
\nwhich you desire to work so you can see the “real-world” pros and
\ncons of the job. Very often, the academic prep is very different than the
\nactual work setting\/demands. Your education is the most valuable investment you
\ncan make; ensure that you make the right choice and know what you want for the
\nlong term. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
You will write your paper based on
\nliterature researched about your chosen field. Research should come from
\nscientific information on the internet and research articles at the APUS
\nLibrary and you must utilize between 5 and 10 reliable and relevant academic
\nreferences. Your paper should include, but not be limited to the following
\ntopic (sample nursing essay examples by the best nursing assignment writing service)s:
\nName of the healthcare profession
\nHistory of the profession
\nHow this career has developed over the
\nyears
\nEducation and training (i.e. internships,
\nresidencies, etc)
\nState\/National Certification or Exams
\nrequired
\nContinuing Education required
\nTypical wages and benefits
\nEmployment opportunities and future outlook
\nof this profession
\nWork settings (i.e. hospitals, clinics,
\npharmaceutical companies, etc.)
\nTypes of services, duties, and
\nresponsibilities of the job
\nTypes of patients\/clients served and\/or
\ntypes of conditions\/disorders treated
\nWorking conditions of the job
\nHow this career is perceived by other
\nprofessionals and lay people
\nIf there are any “specialty”
\nareas
\nAny other general “pros” or
\n“cons” that you come across in your research that are pertinent to
\nyou<\/p>\n
Your paper should be written in the THIRD
\nPERSON taking the individual out of the writing and avoiding pronouns such as
\nI, we, my, our (first person) and you, yours, your, us, we (second person). You
\nshould deal with facts and not opinions, thus providing citations within your
\npaper and on your reference page. Focus on the subject itself and not on your
\nfeelings about the subject. The use of third person retains a formal tone in
\nyour writing. The use of first and second person can make a document seem more
\ncasual.<\/p>\n
However, the only place I want you to use
\nthe first person is in the Abstract section. I’d like you to use the Abstract
\nto write about your personal opinions about this health care field: what got you
\ninterested in this career, why did you chose to write about it, what is your
\ndesire to be involved with this profession, etc.?PLEASE NOTE that you must
\nsubmit your Research Paper as a \u00e2\u0080\u009cMicrosoft Word\u00e2\u0080\u009d document rather than a Word
\nPad, Works, etc. type of document, otherwise you will not receive credit for
\nyour work.Please review the university-wide policy on Plagiarism in your
\nstudent handbook. All research papers will be submitted to a plagiarism
\ndetection website so it is imperative that your papers are your original work
\nin your original words. Don\u00e2\u0080\u0099t forget to utilize proper APA style in-text
\ncitations for any paraphrasing and\/or direct quotes utilized in your papers.
\nLess than 10% of your paper should contain direct quotes and you should refrain
\nfrom writing in the first or second person in your formal papers. Plagiarism
\nwill result in a zero for the entire assignment, as well as a formal letter to
\nthe Dean of Academic Affairs who will determine the next course of action, so
\nmake sure the work is your own.Here are some additional resources to Help you
