Take time to celebrate Nurses Week! Acknowledge your fellow colleagues and classmates for your hard work and dedication as nurses and nursing students.
Check out this article from Life Magazine, portraying photographs from the history of the nursing profession: http://life.time.com/culture/national-nurses-week-time-to-say-thank-you/#1
This is a wonderful time to say thank you to all of our nurses!
The theme for Nurses Week in 2014 is "Nurses: Leading the Way". Take some time to think about how you're leading the way in the classroom or clinical setting in your work as a nurse or nursing student. Nurses Week begins on 5/6/14 and ends on Florence Nightingale's birthday on 5/12/14.
Writing a lot of final papers? Don't know how to reference a journal article correctly or cite more than one author? It's always good to understand how APA works. You use it daily in your education and professors expect you to have a solid understanding of it and use it correctly!
There are so many rules with APA...
--References
--Citations in text
--How to quote a source
--Rules for using parenthesis in a paper
--Levels of headings
--...and much, much more!
If you can't wrap your head around it, The Office of Academic Advising offers APA workshops - so stay tuned in the fall for more workshops. In the mean time you can view this tutorial on how to use APA style:

And don't forget - you can also ask a librarian! Visit the Bobst Library Ask a Librarian Page here: http://library.nyu.edu/ask/
Happy Writing!
