your einsteen quote sounds like my study techniques. No one has any good advice on better study skills.

maternity is new for me. I have been an Lpn working in LTC. 5 clinical rotations to put it all together. Thats it.

I dont have time to wait for a book for this care plan. I did choose a premature birth with altered gas exchange, have goals and interventions.(its allowed to be fictitous). What if a goal is not met. Its a long term goal of clear lungs. Short term goal was met.

where can i find info. on maternity care plans?
