hi, ljane2008, and welcome to allnurses! :welcome:

there are examples of nursing case studies done by rn students on these two websites:

• http://learn.sdstate.edu/craigg/ercases.html
  
• http://learn.sdstate.edu/craigg/ersp01.html

a case study is basically a care plan in an essay form. there is information on how to write a care plan on this sticky thread:

Thank You,but Still Trying To Keep Case Study And Care Plan Seperate.

I don't know how else to help you. You are giving no information. A rubric is nothing more than instructions for an assignment and you haven't given any information about it. So, unless you can be more forthcoming with information I don't think there's anything more I can do for you.

I clicked on the case studies link and they are no longer available. Do you know if there are any nursing case study examples out there?
