Quotes in Graduate Nursing Program writing: Avoid Them

The best way to take information from a reference and write about it is to write like you were explaining the ideas and information to a non-nurse.  This way the words are your own (you still need to cite), and you will avoid unoriginal work. At the graduate nursing level, we are looking for your own thoughts and ideas.

DO NOT USE THE COPY PASTE function ever in a paper, as font and paragraph spacing and formatting will be damaged.  Stick to retyping, as this will help you to paraphrase Also. If you must use a quote-- in the text prior to the quote, tell why the quote is being used.
