  1. Question About APA Format and Citation

    nursemomruns replied to Pachinko's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Actually, there are some instances for using parentheses in the reference list. But, what I think you meant was you wouldn't use parentheses to cite the secondary source in the reference list,

  2. APA question re: Do I put initials behind the names?

    nursemomruns replied to Dratz's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    No, you don't include titles or credentials for APA format. In fact, in APA journals, the credentials aren't listed with the author's name, but can be found in the author notes (I am specifically...

  7. Help Help Help

    nursemomruns replied to charlescisco's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Which board of nursing has that on their website? A passing or failing score cannot be determined without the minimum number of questions, therefore the computer will not shut off before 75 questions...

  8. question about "select all that apply"

    nursemomruns replied to Plucker's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You can't answer that without knowing how many choices there are and how many of the choices are actually correct. Now, if you want opinions, that is a different matter. I personally would go with...

  12. Nightshift & Grad School?

    nursemomruns replied to HillNPStudent's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  14. Question about triage

    nursemomruns replied to nursedaisy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    nursemomruns replied to lzygrl42's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  18. Did you learn anything from online courses?

    nursemomruns replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I agree about learning more in an online course. I also think they're harder and you have to be organized and manage time well. The majority of the classes for my PhD are

    nursemomruns replied to jbeck817's topic in General Nursing
