Assignment
\n: Nursing Theory Analysis Paper<\/b><\/p>\n
Overview\/Description:<\/b>The purpose of this assignment is to describe, evaluate and
\ndiscuss application of a nursing grand or mid-range theory. This assignment
\nalso provides the learner an opportunity to connect theory and research to
\nnursing phenomena. Learners will develop
\nan 8-10 page paper<\/b> (excluding the title page and references) using APA
\nstyle to address the elements listed below.<\/p>\n
