Description:
You will respond to an editorial or an article with a persuasive argument in a letter to the
editor outlining your views on the issue being discussed and its relevance to nursing.
You may agree or disagree with the editor/writer?s comments. Choose a topic of your
own based on an article in the newspaper or an article that you have read. The issue
may affect nursing practice, ability to engage with patients and families, nursing
education, how systems structure health/access to health, etc. The letter should be
concise and logically written. It should clearly express your opinion and reaction to the
editorial/article, use relevant scholarly resources to support your opinion, demonstrate
an analysis of the situation in relation to nursing, and provide recommendation(s). You
may wish to submit your letter to the journal/publication when completed.
Instructions:
1. Read resources listed below on how to write an effective letter to the editor.
2. Read the sample letters provided and other letters written to the editor from
journals, newspapers etc.
3. Select an editorial/article that you have attached with your assignment (your
assignment will not be graded without the attached article).
4. Decide on the viewpoint from which you will be writing.
5. Review literature on the topic to support why your topic is an issue.
6. Offer recommendations and find current research to support why your
recommendation(s) would be effective.
7. Construct your letter:
a. In your first paragraph, identify your objective for writing the letter and
introduce your concerns for how the issue impacts nursing. Your position will
support, rebut, or give an opinion on the article. Your first paragraph should
grab the reader?s attention and identify the key important points.
b. The next paragraph(s) will contain the bulk of the information where you will
expand on your position and support it with relevant scholarly resources.
c. The second-last paragraph will outline your recommendation(s) supported by
scholarly references.
d. The last paragraph is the short conclusion/summary.
8. Put your letter together in a proper-letter-writing form.
Length: The absolute maximum for the letter will be 3 typed, double- spaced pages,
APA format for font and margins (references are separate). Any letters longer than the
maximum length will be subject to a penalty. Please remember, this is an exercise in
writing clearly and concisely; therefore, part of the evaluation will be based on the
presentation of arguments in a concise, logical, and convincing manner.
