The checklist is interactive and will show you examples of each component of APA with a sample paper. You can check off each item on the list and save the file or just use the checklist as a reminder for yourself. It is something that you can download and use for any Excelsior course, and beyond!

At the conclusion of this week, you should have a wealth of resources that can be used for your second paper. Knowing how to find what you need through the library is important; you will also need to know how to properly cite the resource in APA 7th edition style. The following links will guide you to information on how to properly cite your reference in your text and prepare your citation for the reference list. • APA Style Help (Links to an external site.) • APA Style Guide for Formatting Papers (Links to an external site.) • Citations in Text (Links to an external site.) Initial Discussion Post For this discussion forum, you will find an article in the Excelsior College online library using the database CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature). (Links to an external site.) CINAHL is a top nursing and allied health database that includes nursing journals and publications from scholarly sources. When you choose CINAHL as the database for your assigned Excelsior College library search you will retrieve citations for articles covering a wide range of topics including nursing, biomedicine, consumer health, and 17 allied health disciplines. As you can imagine, if you do not carefully choose your search strategy you could receive a very long list of articles. You will need to use the other resources provided on your treasure map to learn how to use keywords to narrow your search to find just want you are looking for. The article should relate to your professional nursing journey. As a first step, you should begin by describing your professional nursing journey from its starting point to your career aspirations. You may want to reference your Vision Board when completing this part of the discussion forum. After writing your description, find a related article. For instance, the article might shed light on a nursing discipline or highlight the aspect of nursing that interests you the most. Add an in-text citation for your article and a reference in APA style, 7th edition. Finally, include a few comments about your search: What was easy about the search and what was difficult? Which library resource did you find to be the most helpful? Your initial post is due by Thursday at 11:59 PM ET.? Your responses are due by Sunday at 11:59 PM ET. Response to Classmates Read your classmates' initial post and the description of their nursing journey. Based on that description, find another relevant article for them.
