Rubric

Make sure to use the assignment rubric to guide your work.

Instructions

Refer back to the Exploring Nursing Assignment, locating the organization and professional journal you identified in your specialty area or role.
From that professional journal, locate one scholarly article from the last 5 years about a topic you find interesting. You may need to log in to the UTA library to access the journal. See the library resources in Blackboard to help you in your search for an article.
In the workspace below, type a two to three paragraph (double spaced) summary of the article you read. In your summary, make sure and use in-text citations to avoid plagiarism.
At the end of the summary, type the reference to your article in correct APA style.
A word about plagiarism: When you submit homework to an instructor, you are saying, “Unless I have noted otherwise with a citation, this is my own original work; these are my own words and my own original ideas.” Reading the article, understanding it, interpreting it, and creating a summary in your own words is part of the work of learning. Using someone else’s words is like saying “I did this work” when you really didn’t. Use this assignment as an opportunity to work on your skills of reading and summarizing.

Workspace: Please begin your assignment below. Follow APA format (double space, no bold font, in-text citations) and make sure and use complete sentences, grammar, and spelling.
