We use them at my school heavily. Every week after clinical I sit down with NIC, NOC, & NANDA Linkages and bust out my care plan :(

Bedside nurses don't create care plans, not like you do during nursing school.

Most places you'll have pre-printed, diagnosis specific care plans that can be somewhat customized by, for example, checking or unchecking applicable interventions.

You're never going to have to create a care plan from scratch for a patient. It's something you're forced to do in school so that you have a firm understanding of what makes up the care plans you'll use later.

That's not to say that you can't continue "creating" care plans once you're a practicing nurse. But it's not generally necessary, and I don't know many nurses who are that obsessive/neurotic/self-hating.

They are premade outcome standards, just print them off the database in the hospital database.

How about ICNP the 'International Classification For Nursing Practise' ?.

It seems to me that there are another nursing 'standards' coming up

and it is a question if it is going to replace nanda,nic and noc.

HI,

Do you know of any software that has ICNP integrated into it?
