APA style is commonly used in Nursing courses as well as some Social Science classes. You can work with the APA Manual (pictured on the right) or check our these online resources for help:
Diane Hacker's Research and Documentation Online provides examples of sample papers and suggests how to document sources in APA style.
If you cannot get access to the APA Manual, you can refer to Purdue University's Online Writing Lab (OWL). Their APA Formatting and Style Guide includes examples and instructions for citing the most common types of sources.
