This website is highly recommended by all my friends if you have problems writing care plans. It is actually a care plan generator, all you do is pick what applies to your patient and out pops a complete care plan. I would like to stress DONT RELY to heavily on this website because in my own personal exp. you may have to write a care plan whenever and wherever you instructor see's fit. Make sure you know how to become a generator yourself before using this. :)

If you need a nursing journal article, heres your place. It cost money for most of the articles but some are free. In my exp using it I was always able to find a free article for just about any topic I needed. Make sure if it says it cost money for a article to click on it and scroll down, because sometimes it only cost money if you print the article. Great for Nursing research papers. :)

Thanks for the info. The first website is a help to get me started on a care plan. Many times I just need a little bit of help to get started!

Thanks! I wonder if all of these journals are approved? We're not allowed to use like Medical Journals or Medicine Journals ... only nursing journals. I never knew how to tell which is which.
