It is online. My instructors always referred us to it for apa or format questions or issues. I personally have not used it because I would rely heavily on an apa book that was required that we buy. It's really good and after a few months the proper way to place the references and spacing was memorized. U can also set up word for spacing and apa
Ok cool thank u!

It is AWESOME! Totally worth it! It stays updated and keeps all your references so you only add it once...it formats your paper and did I mention it is awesome...if you have any questions please let me know! I have used it since 2011 and always got compliments from professors on my discussion questions apa and reports apa [emoji3]

I have used PERRLA for 3 years and love it. Purdue OWL is a website that gives you guidelines. It does NOT format your papers and APA proficiency will NOT make you a superior nurse.

PERRLA is so very worth it! It save you so much time...especially the longer the paper. If your program is discussion board heavy, you can use this program to save time on those posts as well. Can't beat the low price when u consider how much time it saves you.
I'm so buying this! Any tips or discounts to get this? Amazon, student discount sites???

It is absolutely worth it. I have used it for the past 4 years and I wouldn't be without it. It's a no-brainer. Purdue OWL is helpful but you still have to do the formatting yourself. PERRLA does it all for you and saves all your references so you can use in different papers. Don't hesitate...get it.

Go straight to the website APA and MLA Format and Style Software by PERRLA, LLC - PERRLA.com and download it from there. It's only $39.99. They have excellent customer service too and you can download on several different devices which is helpful as I have a school laptop, a work laptop and a desktop.

A couple of years ago before I bought it they offered free trial. I was able to write a complete paper using the software before I decided that it was completely worth the purchase...
