Question: How do I cite and reference content from the Nursing Reference Center in APA style?

Answer: 

NRC Plus offers an EbscoConnect Help page / tutorial to answer this question:  

Nursing Reference Center Plus - Citing References in APA Format (Ebsco Tutorial)

Start by going in to Nursing Reference Center Plus (NRC Plus).  

• Every work computer at Ascension should have an NRC Plus icon quick link on the computer desktop.   
• NRC Plus can also be accessed via 
• the AW Libraries homepage
• Nursing Point-of-Care LibGuide
• and the Nursing Specialties LibGuide.

Then follow the steps in the tutorial at the top of the page.

        >  Note:  It is important to examine each part of the pre-generated reference to make sure it is formatted correctly, and not missing important elements just as a doi or permalink.
