Ok, I will try not to be too long winded here & just give the needed info. Written careplans have been a challenge for me in the past, so this semester I really want to "nail" them. This was my first week of clinicals this semester & we have to do 3 priority careplans & a discharge careplan. I have my 2 priority careplans done & would really appreciate it if I could get some feedback ont hem before they are due. I feel like I am missing something really obvious, or maybe I'm just paranoid because I have a tough clinical instructor. I am open to suggestions & critisism. Thanls in advance.
