***When completing your paper about a Nursing Professional
Organization, there should be MULTIPLE references to the organization’s
website. When citing the same author and the same date – a lower case letter is
used in the citation and the reference to distinguish the source used (based on
6th edition APA).
For example, my paper is about the American Foot Care Nurses
Association. Below are four of the sources I used in writing my submission. I
would also include references related to networking and lifelong learning from
sources outside of the organizational website.
American Foot Care Nurses Association. (2019a). About Us.
https://www.afcna.org/AboutUs
American Foot Care Nurses Association. (2019b). AFCNA
Chapters. https://www.afcna.org/Chapters
American Foot Care Nurses Association. (2019c). Resources
for Foot Care Nurses. https://www.afcna.org/page-1274553
American Foot Care Nurses Association. (2019d). Become a
Member. https://www.afcna.org/JoinUs
The intext citation will include the date with the letter
behind it – For example (AFCNA, 2019d). IF there a quote, such as the mission,
the citation may appear as (AFCNA, 2019a, para. 2) or The mission of American
Foot Care Nurses Association is “blah, blah, blah” (2019a, para. 2).
