The care plan itself is not 30 pages long. Personally, I have not done a care plan longer than 5 pages. We have to do a weekly care plan (2 nursing Dx, 4 goals per Dx, 3 interventions per goal), a weekly medication tracking sheet, full research on 4 medications, and research on all Dx. We also have weekly narrative notes to hand in. When you add all of that up, it becomes 30 pages.
