Hey, Does anyone know where I can find some patient scenarios to practice writing care plans?

Thanks!

In the 19th edition EC study guide, there are three scenarios. Starting on pg 104, Jean Kaufman is the first patient and there are two other patients to do a complete PCS and care plan on. Hope with helps and I wish you the best in all you do.

Hi-Check the front of your drug handbook, I know the Davis Drug Guide has a few case studies...

Did you see the ones on EC's website? Requires you to log in, but they are located here: https://my.excelsior.edu/group/myexcelsior-community/cpne-pcs-practice-scenarios

If you pick up any nursing magazine, you'll find case studies. They might not include nurse plans of care, but you can always use the patient scenarios as a starting point.

Google patient scenarios for nurses.

There are a ton.

The EC students have some certain needs for their scenarios to practice for the CPNE PCSs -- like a certain number of specific areas of care assigned. But what would be really nice is if students would use these resources mentioned by elprup and GrnTea and maybe write a batch of new ones for each other. :) The ones I linked on EC's website can be submitted to EC faculty for critique, though. Random ones cannot.
