PERL of wisdom: a tool to help bedside nurses remember available evidence-based resources.
Despite the increasing importance of evidence-based practice for the nursing profession, some nurses remain unable to use scientific evidence in their clinical practice to support their critical thinking and nursing skills. PERL (Print, Electronic, Resource Persons, and Location) is an acronym that nurses can use to categorize available resources to practice evidence-based nursing, thereby enhancing patient outcomes.
