Introduction: Clear concise 1-3 paragraphs explaining definition of topic. What are nursing theories and their importance to nursing? Who are theorists and how have they paved the way for nursing today? You need a purpose statement, which briefly informs the reader what this paper will entail/discuss/include. I will be looking for \"The purpose of this paper is...\" in your introduction paragraph

Body of the paper should follow the rubric: In this case you will have to compare two nursing theories and theorists in regard to their frameworks ( heading), Contrast two differences between two theories and theorists in regards to their framework (heading). Which nursing theory and theorist best correlates with your nursing style ( heading). So essentially three headings for the body and one for the conclusion!

Conclusion: Separate and last paragraph that reiterates what your introduction says and summarizes the key points of the paper without introducing new facts or information.
