Hi fellow nursing students!

I'm wondering, how long does it take you to complete a care plan after clinical?

It's been taking me like 3 - 5 hours. Is that normal? lol

It usually takes me a couple hours... it's not always easy to find a diagnosis that fits your patients. And the care plans have gotten more complex with time. Last semester, we started having to explain the patho of the disease...I never took a patho course...and our textbook usually only has about a paragraph about it. So then I have to find scholarly articles. It usually takes me about 3 hours to do one
