I agree this is not the hill to die on. There were also comments about earrings and short nails. In my world anything other than a stud earring is a target for a patient to yank out. Long nails are hand held petri dishes. In addition to not rocking the boat this is good time to remember "The early bird gets the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese" All the best

Hi All the best with your ABSN studies. I am a doctoral student (business with a hospital safety concentration) with one course left. My committee chair refers to me as one of the APA Hawks from catching things in the group discussions. I still consult my APA book once or twice a week. Owl is good, APA Blog Style is great but the book is the gold standard. My copy has a note on almost every page in the index. For example , as a nursing student you will cite many articles with 7 or more authors. I marked up my index under authors . Finding things in the marked up index really helps, especially when I am exhausted and up against a deadline. Take good care of yourself, Brendan

Greetings, My wife is a math instructor for a nursing program and rusty math skills derail careers. Just like the joke about how do musician make to Carnegie Hall....practice practice practice. If you math skills are sharp you will also be able to focus on more on your others courses. All the best and congratulations on our acceptance! BW
