It's my first time writing on the website so sorry if this is in the wrong section.
I am a soon-to-be RN from Spain who's absolutely in love with the American Culture and I am planning to move there as soon as I end my studies and gain some work experience.
My question actually was if you really use the nursing process in the US, because in Spain it is never used as so! (They teach it to us at university (nursing here is a 4yr degree)
It's soo frustrating that nurses here have like zero autonomy when designing a care plan for the patient, most of them think it is "unrealistic" or "useless". Most of the times here we just follow physicians, do a lot of procedures, orders but that is not so rewarding as being a real authority on patient care...
Just wondering how you do it on the US, thank you for your answer and any other comments will be well received!
