3.4

Do not use references like: RN, Nursing 2004, Nursing Times, they are not peer reviewed and are not considered scholarly.  However they are very excellent magazines.  You may find a terrific article you would like to use for an assignment.  Look at the references used for the article, that does come from a peer reviewed magazine, and use that article for your paper

Finding the best art images on the web:
 Go to http://google.com, Click on "images" tab on the top
 Type in your search term and browse until you find a graphic you want
 Contact the site (I email the webmaster) for permission to use, be sure to tell them you are a student and using it for educational purposes, you can only use once you have permission
To save the graphic to your computer:
Put your mouse over the image
Right click the mouse, a menu comes up
From the menu, select, save target/picture as
Select the location you want to save the image to-then you can easily find it later, often you will want to save in "My Pictures", Name the file something meaningful to you. Click on save, then you can manipulate the file when you have obtained permission to use the image

You can get incredible PowerPoint templates free all over the web.  My favorite site is:   http://presentersuniversity.com
