Academic Resource/Strategy 1
The Writing Center (academic integrity and writing) The writing center will contribute to my success in the MSN program. As an involved participant in the writing center my confidence in writing along with my writing skills and how to include evidence-based training into professional and academic vocation will be improved. This improvement will make provision for my constructive societal contribution through intellectual research and dedication to the desired quality of patient care. Per the Writing Center “writing can be a central tool for exploring, envisioning, expressing and enacting social change” (About: Social Change at the Writing Center, 2020). Among the tools I will inherit and use from the Writing Center include scholarly writing, utilize correct APA format, grammar, and the conventional rules of writing. With these skills I will integrate progressive positive social change in the work environment by way of research and practice. week 2 Part 2: Academic Resources and Strategies.
