I'll be there with ya! Taking Soc 350 and Informatics. Didn't want to take a 3rd class for summer, but the more I get in the faster I'm done!

Okay.... here's another one for you.... Headings Things like Introduction, Discussion, Summary are primary headings... correct? Things like Nursing opportunity would be a secondary heading thereby left alignment... yes? haha, I think I need a class on APA alone. APA for dummies. (got the book, but still have questions, I'd rather not loose 75 pts. due to an APA error).

Thank you Lisa, I kind of thought that would be what I needed, though didn't see it the first time. You would think if the instructor asks for your "rough draft" they would actually provide feedback. I use an online citation generator, but don't always trust it. I kind of feel out on my own in this class (not that it was difficult), but emailing the instructor with questions hasn't proven to bring answers. I'm glad there are so many people here willing to help and advise. I think I've spent more time on citations than writing the paper. I actually left some stuff out that I might have used if I'd have figured out how to cite it.

Yes, it's Community Health and thanks.. I'll pick it up.

Hi students, I have to submit my paper today and I'm having a bit of trouble finding how to intext cite a source. Source is web page definition (not a dictionary). I thought I was correct with using (n.d.) then I saw in small print "last editorial review xx/xx/xxxx". Does that mean I cite that? I'm going with the n.d. unless anyone else has had any experience with this. APA printed material does have a few areas that are not easily defined. Thanks in advance for any help. I wrote the paper with ease, now finding the citations is a bit more challenging. )

Thanks, that's a great idea. I don't care about paying for them, but would really like to avoid paying for books that I don't use. I'll check that out.

How important is it to have them? I'm taking NR361 next semester A - none needed and NR443 (Community) semester B - "requires" a textbook ($89). Anyone have any input? thanks in advance

Hi, I can't comment on the taking classes at a community college, I guess that is a personal choice. Maybe someone else can assist with that part. The APA is the American Psychologist Associations citation and professional writing style. It's crazy! I'm getting a little better at it, but it's a bit tough to figure out if you're "old school" like me. The computer format is pretty straight forward so you should be fine. There are many great people here that can lend a hand as needed.

First of all, I just wanted to thank everyone who offered so much advice to me while I was doing my online school search. I went with Chamberlain. I'm half way into my first class - Transitions. It's been good. I've developed a routine with Sunday morning lessons, research for postings and any other house keeping items needing to be done. I copy and past my postings on Monday and respond on Tuesday to reach the 2 postings guideline. So far, so good. I pulled a "teenage" mistake on my APA Hunt and typed right when I clearly meant left and missed a few on that....grrrr. I have struggled a bit with the APA guidelines, still think it's crazy to write that way, but am catching on. I just signed up for Cultural Diversity and Information for Summer A and Algebra (still not happy to be taking that over again) and Community for Summer B (good bye summer.... guess it will be work by the pool). I've registered for Stats and Collaborative for Fall A and Fall B will be History and EBP. I'm hopeful that I can do 2 as easily as one has been, but it will take a bit more organization. I will see how 2 classes go and maybe add a third one of these semesters. I did consider Kent State University, but they wanted so much retake I felt it was unnecessary. The cost was the same and they were much less helpful. I understand how people feel when they say Chamberlain seems 'pushy'. They did contact me a lot when I was 'looking' into the program. Luckily, they haven't stopped being as supportive or reachable should I say. They have been wonderful with retrieving my transcripts, financial planning and class registration. Kent was less than helpful getting started and didn't return calls placed to check my transcript evaluation. Maybe it was who I spoke with at both facilities. Best of luck to those making the same decisions ..... it's an overwhelming thought when getting started.

dln, I also am in Transitions at Chamberlain and chose Chronic Illness for my paper. I found quite a bit of useful information on the online Library they have. I did a bit of google searching. Good luck!

Way to Go! 3 and out.... good for you. I'm nervous as heck!! lol

I'm kind of with you. It seems like a little like experience demonstration to me. I can, but haven't received a college degree to show you (which is sort of where I am now in my career). I could be wrong entirely and do not mean to discredit anyone who has gone to WG. Maybe I'm just old school and don't know enough about the program to understand it.

Alright, I'm set to start Chamberlain next week and now I'm getting nervous. So of course, I muddy the waters. What can anyone tell me about Western Governors online BSN or MSN programs? I'm a bit confused looking at their information. No classes? Competency Units? It is tons cheaper than Chamberlain, or any other program I've looked into. Are these degrees recognized? What is a "mentor"? I imagine you'd not be able to use the degree at as prep for another university because there are no credit hours of education, right?? Questions, questions, and more questions.

Imdone, I sent you a private message (PM). If you click on your "my account" and private message, you can find it. Good Luck! We'll have you up and ready for class.

I'm right there with you. Feel free to PM me and we can exchange email.
