Do most LPN programs focus in on nursing diagnosis? My program doesn't.

My program focused on the Nursing Process, which included nursing diagnosis, but the process ADPIE was emphasized more as well as working with care plans and progress towards goals. We did prepare a nursing care plan, but more so to understand the measurable goals/outcomes/observations.

I did a semester of the ADN without success and had to write so many care plans so I'm familiar with them but as far as the LpN program I am in now we have never had to do one, our med surge book has a lot of them in there. That's about it.

This is the first one we have had to do. I see a few more in level 2. I found it a bit difficult at first, but my med surg book was a huge help, as was the internet for NANDA's or whatever else you may be looking for. I tried to utilize every resource I had, and although I didnt think my concept map was anything spectacular, my instructor said it was excellent, and it was, and is a good learning experience, kind of like connecting the dots, seeing how things tie in together. Don't know if I will be doing them as an LPN, I guess maybe it depends on where I work, but my sister, an RN does them everyday, and really enjoys it.
