Look in the yellow pages of the phone book where you live at the listings for nursing homes. Visit one or more of them. Talk to the nurse in charge or the director or nursing. Tell her who you are, what nursing school you are from and what your assignment is--briefly. Ask them if you can have access to one patient chart to make a care plan from.
