Formatting a nursing paper in MLA style involves several key elements:
Header: Include your last name and page number in the header, flush with the right margin. Title Page: Generally not required; instead, include your name, instructor’s name, course number, and date in the upper left corner of the first page. Title: Center the title, do not italicize or underline it, and capitalize major words. Margins: Use 1-inch margins on all sides. Font: Use a readable font such as Times New Roman, 12 pt. Spacing: Double-space the entire text, including the works cited page. Indentation: Indent the first line of each paragraph by half an inch.
