If you retrieve a source from scholar.google.com it has a citation you can copy and paste properly formatted in APA, MLA and other formats.

PERRLA is a good tool to use as well. I am in APA HELL at the moment taking my first RN-BSN class!!

Just a side note...your school has a librarian, who likely has a masters degree in library science, who would be a great resource for you. The librarians will help you with citations as well as research. Additionally, your school also likely has a writing center, which will also help you with these kinds of questions. These are all resources that you are paying for through your tuition, so I would take advantage of them.

Download the application on your computer called "PERRLA" it costs a little bit BUT SO WORTH IT. I went through my BSN with 100s due to this flawless easy way to tackle APA.

I also suggest PERRLA. It's not free (7/month or like 50 bucks for a year) but it is amazing! It's an add-on for Microsoft Word and I have never, ever, ever had it be wrong. I even once had a professor write something like "thank you for doing APA perfectly" on a paper!
Citationmachine.net has done me wrong a few times, so I don't trust it anymore.
