In the CMC Nursing program, we want to ensure you are fully supported in becoming a great scholarly writer for all of your academic submissions. Many of you will be coming into the program as great writers but here are some tips and tools to help you continue to improve.

Scholarly writing is using the appropriate wording, tone and formatting. Here is a great overview of scholarly writing: What Is Scholarly Writing
Nursing is a little different because we have our healthcare focus and need to ensure all terminology, here is a great overview from Purdue University: Writing Like A Nurse

Another great way to experience more nurse writing is to read a couple nursing journal articles for their wording, do not worry about the content but read them to see more examples of how nurses write and use of APA in academic writing, notice the frequency of citations.

APA is now in the 7th edition. Below is a comprehensive checklist and guide to APA 7^th edition to help with your writing. Please also reach out to your course faculty for any help with APA needed 😊
