CPNE Questions

Hey All-

I'm new here, and I'm a fairly fresh LPN as well as an EMT-B and
Phlebotomist from Minnesota. I'm starting EC ADN program because I
need some flexibility, I live in the sticks (a ways away from a
traditional ADN program) and because waiting lists are insane in MN
community colleges.

I'm all up to date on how everything works with EC, I am going to be
schooling directly thought EC. My only questions left are about the
EC CPNE.

I've been reading experiences from here and on alittlesarcasm.com
and my real main (very general) question is how do the care plans
work? Now in LPN school, I learned a great deal about careplans,
but mostly either nursing home kind of care plans, or else
supporting the RN type of stuff. I guess what I mean is I understand
care plans, but *explain the EC process to me... It's pretty
recipe
card as far as the layout goes? (i.e. 2 Dx's with interventions and
as manifested by and r/t... yada yada yada) and just how it ties
into the whole day...

from what I gather the first day your there at about 3pm do skills,
get a PCS assignment, with information and go home... then formulate
your careplan based of the info your received on your PCS from the
CPNE instructor?

Second day get there early, do your PCS's (must pass 3 of 5?) then
repeat skills (if needed) and your done? By the way, I know it's not
that easy, but I'm just trying to picture the layout in my mind...

So if someone could kind of inform me on the CPNE process, and the
careplan stuff I would greatly appreciate this. Thanks again & God Bless,

Jeremy
