When creating works cited pages for nursing papers or articles, the bibliographic style of choice is usually APA (American Psychological Association). The APA style dictates the style of both the paper and the references. These are two recommended guides for formatting your paper and references:
APA for
Nursing (Lynchburg College)
APA Citations
(Babbidge Library)
For more examples, ask for the APA Publication Manual, 5th edition, at the Information & Research Desk.
Test your ability to accurately cite references.
