Hi Lisa,
I am in the transitions class as well and haven't written a paper for a while and would love to know about the APA format as well. Are any of you on facebook. That may be a way to communicate.

Hi Nancy-The program is called perla. Have to find out exactly where she got it. There seems to be many sites out there and I want to get the one she has. As soon as I know i will post it.

Hi Everyone,

I am also taking transitions 351 starting monday the 26th. I've already been in the course, read the assignment for week one and was debating posting on the discussion threads, but I keep chickening out lol. I just keep freezing when I try to think of a critical experience or whatever that first question is calling for, I start to answer and then think that I really should pick a better patient scenario....then I can't think of one that will be good to use lol. I guess I'm just a little nervous to get started. I have used angel before, a little bit (at OU college of nursing, for about 2 weeks before I realized it was a rediculously BUSY program for a working nurse and withdrew), so I'm navigating it pretty well. I posted a bio about me on the course roster, if you want to look at it go for it!! look forward to getting to know you all a bit here and there, so we can go through it together .

I have (moderator edit of name) for NR 351, anyone else have her? And I am on facebook if anyone wants to connect there as well

I have been on the course and checked out few things out. I plan on working on it tomorrow. Don't worry about what you write, your experience is your experience and no one can judge it unless they have been in your exact shoes. I am hoping to write my post tomorrow, so maybe I can help break the ice.

I just completed Health Assessment and will be starting my 3rd session Monday. I will be taking Nursing Informatics and Cultural Diversity. Someone mentioned the PERRLA APA program. It's awesome. I used it for Transitions and Health Assessment. Good luck to everyone. I haven't posted here in awhile.

Thanks for the info on the PERRLA Christy, I went and downloaded it and it's amazing . Did you also buy the apa book? I think I should buy it as a reference, but just wondered if others might think it a waste of money if using PERRLA.

I did purchase the APA book. I highly recommend getting it. The PERRLA program is awesome but it's not perfect.

Just got my Health Assessment grade today. I got an "A"!!

I got an "A" in Health Assessment, too!!

I also have the PERRLA program, but purchased the APA book. Christy is right -- PERRLA isn't perfect, and I've found it's important to understand the APA guidelines.

thanks for the input, I was thinking the same thing. I want to be able to learn and understand it too, since it's so important to future writing. Congrats on your A's girls, woohooo!!! I start NR 351 today, i've already posted on the first 2 threaded discussions and posted my bio.
