11 Steps To Care Planning (excerpt): Nursing Care Plans and Documentation: Nursing Diagnosis and Collaborative Problems, 4th Edition: Lynda Juall Carpenito RN, MSN, FNP:"Care plans have one primary purpose: to provide directions for the nursing staff for a particular client. For students and nurses inexperienced in caring for a person with a particular condition or after a certain surgical procedure, these directions (care plan) need to be detailed. For nurses experienced in caring for people with a particular condition or after a certain surgical procedure, these directions (care plan) will be limited to only those specific interventions that are different for this particular client."

Transitional Care Planning, National Cancer Institute:"Transitional care can be defined as that which is required to facilitate a shift from one disease stage and/or place of care to another. For example, as disease progresses, a patient may proceed through phases of illness that require vastly differing levels of emphasis in the goals of care, and consequently the nature of care delivery. An individual may have a disease that is amenable to curative therapy; the major goal of therapy may focus on this. Another stage of cancer may be more amenable to an intense focus on palliation. In many cases a balance between both is the goal. For increasing numbers of individuals, challenging transitions also occur from "illness" to "health."

The inservice staff found that it improved care and provided a consistent format for assessment both for in- and outpatients. The MS Center nursing staff also found that the care plan aided communication with nursing personnel in other areas. The MS Center is now a division of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine."

Notes of a Student Nurse: A Dose of Reality « Off the Charts

It’s been said before that we are our own worst enemies, our own worst critics. I can’t imagine a time when these phrases are truer than during nursing school. Little more than a year ago, when I was starting my prerequisites for admission to the BSN nursing program, I was giddy with excitement. Images of what life would be like played in my head like episodes of Grey’s Anatomy, or, on a day I was feeling a bit more goofy, reruns of Scrubs.

I took any opportunity I had to share with friends, family—even new apartment neighbors—that I was well on my way to nursing school with the confident smile of a person destined to save the world, one patient at a time. I scoured discussion boards and nursing student forums late into the night, anticipating the day that I, too, would have something profound to contribute.

I laughed off those who warned me that the path was difficult and ridden with challenges. There was no bridge I couldn’t cross, no task I couldn’t do, and no test I couldn’t pass with flying colors. The world was mine. Now, I’m living those moments as a first semester nursing student—but a funny thing happened on the way to the present, a thing I will lovingly refer to as reality.

And still others take to activism and patient advocacy to ensure the needs of the community and their patients are met. All of them have valuable perspectives to offer those starting to dip their comfortable shoe-clad toes into the field.

Sample Nursing Care Plans — The Ultimate Internet Guide

Although nursing care plans often seem to follow a formula, each plan — just as each patient who needs that plan — is different. Classification activities of the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association International (NANDA-I) have been instrumental in defining nursing care plans, and the plans and tools offered online through various nursing sites and universities also lend a hand in developing the best nursing plans possible. If you are a nurse or a caregiver who needs help caring for a loved one or patient who suffers from a disease or disorder, these nursing care plans can provide you with unlimited resources.

The plans and tools listed below are not the only tools you can find on the Web. Google Books and other open source resources also carry materials that can help you learn more about care plans for specific diseases and disorders.

Sample Care Plans

  1. Nurses at WorkCare Plans 123: This site has a resource library that contains only graded care plans and graded student nursing-related documents for a fee.
  2. Care Plans And More: This forum-based list offers a few care plans categorized by psychological and physical disorders and cardiac disorders.
  3. CarePlans: Careplans.com states that it is the #1 online resource for nursing assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation.

Make Way for the Millenials on ADVANCE for Nurses

Millions are already in the classroom and workforce, and their reinforcements are marching through the doors in vast numbers. They are the millennials, the latest generation to give the country a facelift as they try to blend in with the traditionalists, baby boomers and Generation Xers to do their part in moving society forward.

The millennials were born between 1982 and 2001.1, 2  The children of baby boomers, their generation was named for coming of age at the turn of the millennium.

Millennials are a symptom of drastic change, according to Paige Shaughnessy, PhD, CCC-SLP, graduate program director in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, School of Allied Health Professions, at Loma Linda University in Loma Linda, CA. "The changes in America socially, economically and politically were so drastic around 2000 and 2001 that in many ways it shaped a generation that is very different from the rest of us. We truly have to struggle to understand them."

The older generations can learn to work with the incoming workforce of millennials by making every attempt to understand their characteristics, values and expectations without sacrificing their own integrity.

Millennials have a wealth of defining traits. Thanks to their total immersion in technology from the time they were born, their cognitive characteristics and learning styles are unlike any seen before. They really are wired differently because they grew up using different parts of their brains, Shaughnessy told ADVANCE.

Community colleges make push for state lawmakers to allow them to offer some four-year programs | MLive.com

Registered nurse Stephanie Palmer wants to earn a bachelor’s degree in nursing, but she’d like to do it at Jackson Community College.

It’s close to her home and less expensive than a four-year college. Plus JCC offers greater scheduling flexibility for working parents like her, said Palmer, 35, of Michigan Center.

That can’t happen under current state law.

But officials from JCC and other community colleges on Friday lobbied state lawmakers to allow traditionally two-year colleges to offer a handful of four-year programs, saying it will help the state’s economy by making it easier for people to prepare for good, in-demand jobs. The House and Senate community colleges subcommittees was holding a joint session on JCC’s Summit Township campus.

The House last year passed legislation to allow community colleges to offer bachelor’s degree programs in four majors, including nursing. The legislation stalled in the Senate. It is expected to be considered again this year.

This would work nicely with the push for more BSN prepared nurses.

Nursing students suspended for posting placenta picture on Facebook – - Macleans OnCampus

A group of nursing students at Johnson County Community College were kicked out of school for posing with a human placenta and posting the photos on Facebook. (It seems the esteemed “in-mirror club shot” for Facebook has effectively been replaced.) According to court documents, the students were visiting a medical centre with their class in November when they asked their teacher if they could take photos with a placenta. The teacher “implied consent” and the girls snapped away, posting the pictures on a least one Facebook page. A few hours later, an instructor requested that the photos be taken down, and the students were informed that they were being “dismissed.” They responded by filing suit against the school.

This story has gone viral south of the border, inciting heated debate about the freedom to post the miscellaneous online and the appropriateness of school sanctions for non-academic conduct. The issue is not foreign to us here in Canada, as the University of Calgary is currently battling a case concerning its punishment of two students for content they posted on Facebook. The rhetoric is usually the same; either “give me freedom and stay off my page” or “privacy is dead, so act responsibly.”

Judge orders reinstatement for student who posted placenta photo to Facebook - KansasCity.com

A federal judge today ordered Johnson County Community College to reinstate a nursing student who had been dismissed for posting a picture of a human placenta on Facebook.

U.S. District Judge Eric F. Melgren ruled against the college on every legal point it raised.

Doyle Byrnes, 22, will be allowed to take the final exam she missed in the fall and to enroll in the new semester that begins Jan. 19.

Byrnes was one of four students who were dismissed from the nursing program after they had themselves photographed with the placenta on Nov. 10. The college said they could reapply to the program in August.

20 Iconic Nurses Every Nursing Student Should Study | Nursing Schools.net

During your time in nursing school, you're bound to hear the names of countless famous and influential nurses thrown around. But if you're looking for inspiration in your own career or just want to further your education, there are some amazing women and men in the profession you should study. Here are twenty nurses who worked hard, often against the grain of the larger medical community, to change the face of health care in the United States and around the world.

  1. Florence Nightingale: Even if you weren't in nursing school, you more than likely would have heard of this woman, perhaps the most famous nurse in history. Believing that God has called her to be a nurse, Nightingale went against expectations for aristocratic women at the time, pursuing a career rather than marrying and settling down. She is best known in stories for her nursing in the Crimean War, but should also be credited with laying the foundation for modern nursing with the establishment of the St. Thomas Hospital in London, the first secular school of its kind to train and educate nursing students.
  2. Dorthea Dix: Born in 1802, Dix was one of the loudest voices in America when it came to lobbying Congress to improve the treatment and care for the mentally ill in the United States. Inspired by reforms she saw going on in England, Dix moved to establish new facilities and legislation that helped improve the social welfare of the insane both here and abroad. When the Civil War broke out, Dix was appointed Superintendent of Union Army Nurses, providing care to the wounded on both sides of the conflict.
  3. Helen Fairchild: If you want to learn more about the realities of combat nursing during World War I, read through Helen Fairchild's collection of wartime letters to her family.
