PERRLA, is it worth it?

Specializes in ER/Trauma.

I am seriously considering buying this program, but before I do, was wondering if anyone has it or used it? Is it as good as it says it is? Worth the $$

while i was in Nursing school we had to write so many papers and I acant tell you how much time this saved me!! It was truely a belssing to have this, you basically type the appropriate stuff in the boxes and it formats the paper for you. My best friend and I went in half and half on it and were both able to use it . I dont think you will be disapointed.

I sent you a PM.

I prefer EazyPaper. Check out their wesite eazypaper.com

They have a free 2 day trial, enough time to get a paper written to decide if you like it. They also have a tutorial to show you how easy it is. Imputing references is so much easier using eazypaper than PERRLA. Other than that, they seem similar.

If anyone wants my email address to get a 5% discount on the price of eazypaper, PM me. The regular price is $39.95 for APA formatting, never expires, one time cost.

Please. Let's be honest. APA format is not hard. Take 1 hour and read a style guide. Write a couple papers and you'll have it down. Use a new kind of source, just look up how to cite it. IMHO, no, not worth the $$

I love PERRLA. It's been a life-saving. Yes, I have books and guides on how to write a paper in APA format, but researching where every stupid comma and volume number and everything else goes is way too time-consuming for me. It was worth the money, IMO. I've not regretted it once!
