Look at the role transition paper grading rubric and use the topics required for your paper to help you generate your search terms. This is not an exhaustive list, but examples include:
[* is a truncation symbol, which will help get variations on the endings of words. Examples: nurs* gets nurse, nurses, or nursing
theor* gets theory, theories, or theoretical]
Try different combinations of them. Can you come up with other relevant terms or synonyms? Hint: In the article databases, look at the "Subjects" listed under the article citations. In the catalog, under the "Details" tab, look at the linked "Subjects" and/or "Medical Subjects".

There are several available options for finding the required elements of information. You will need to draw your information from multiple sources because these sources tend to vary in the level of detail they offer. Many of you probably will not find a pre-existing source that compares your current role to the role of a professional nurse. As the research/writer, it is your responsibility to select several relevant sources that support your own ideas about the role transition and synthesize them in a coherent way.
