<span>When writing as a student or
healthcare professional, it is important to use credible sources because
writing is only as credible as the sources upon which that writing is
based. This, naturally, will be
important for students and healthcare professionals because grades and
reputation will always be based upon the writing produced. What this means is that if a student or
healthcare professional produce work based on non-credible sources then the
student or healthcare professional cannot be trusted as a reliable source of
information. </span>
If the source you are attempting to use is not credible, information may be false. In healthcare there a lot of news articles over various diseases like ebola, west nile ect. if you wish to get information on curing or treating a disease as such, it is best to use a credible source. if you do however use a non-credible source, you may try to use the information given from the article and maybe try to treat an illness but possibly fail or make things worse.
In text citations are important when writing an essay. They allow you to reference the source of the quote or research. In text citations also help with plagiarizing, since you are referencing a source. Hope this gets you started.
