Please help me!


I am a brand new RN - BSN student and I have my first writting assignment. Writing is my greatest weakness! I hate my writing and I feel like it's at a 8th grade level. This assignment is supposed to be writing an APA paper about yourself. I'm concerned about my paper's flow, the organization, and words I used. I would be so greatful if someone could proof read it and tell me an HONEST opinion, perhaps even point out specific things that should be changed. I am sick with worry about this paper! Please! could someone private message me and let me send my paper for them to proofread?

Thank you for reading!

You might want to check into this CD called "Grammar Girl's Quick and Dirty Tips for better writing." You can google it and you will see they have a website with daily tips too. It may help make you feel a little more confident in your writing. I am going to download it onto my ipod when I get a chance. It has been awhile since I took an English course; so I am sure it will help me when I start nursing school next year. (That is, assuming I get into nursing school) I am sure someone more qualified than I will be happy to help you. Good Luck!

I don't mind looking over it. Just out of curiousity though...you say APA. Are they just wanting the format to be APA or are you actually using sources and such? It seems weird if they want you to use sources if the topic is yourself.

Here is an interesting site that has helped me with APA. I understand your issue deals with flow of content, but for future projects this web link may assist you.
