WRITING IN NURSING: A STUDENT GUIDE

      This web site is designed to help students of nursing at all academic levels cultivate sound writing skills. The student should regard it as both a resource on writing and a general guide to good writing practices. It is our hope that this web site will grow and develop over time. Occasionally, you will find pages that are “Under Construction” to accommodate the addition of new resources.

      Within the pages of this web site you will find an abbreviated APA Writing Style Guide, sample student papers and rubrics for selected courses, which identify the weighting given to writing and APA formatting, and a lengthy resource of very helpful and pragmatic writing tips. There are also links to various additional resources, including the web site of Rivier College’s College Wide Writing Program, the College’s Writing Center and the Regina Library.

      Because we wish this web site to be both student friendly and student centered, we encourage your critique and ideas. Please feel free to e-mail your comments to either Kathleen Patenaude or Ivor Pattison .
