Hi,

I am supposed to write an essay in APA format for my last semester in Nursing School. " My Nursing Philosophy", I am struggling with how to start the paper since, I'm not sure of the rules of APA as far as the abstract, and can I start the heading 1 with a quote from our textbook definition of nursing ...

or should I start as " what is Nursing philosophy?

Help Please!!!

I've attached bellow somewhat of what's my brainstorming...

PLUS: THE RUBRIC

Abstract

[The abstract should be one paragraph of between 150 and 250 words.  It is not indented.  Section titles, such as the word Abstractabove, are not considered headings so they don't use bold heading format.  Instead, use the Section Title style.  This style automatically starts your section on a new page, so you don't have to add page breaks.  To apply any text style in this document with just a tap, on the Home tab of the ribbon, check out Styles.]
