For students and nurses inexperienced in caring for a person with a particular condition or after a certain surgical procedure, these directions (care plan) need to be detailed. For nurses experienced in caring for people with a particular condition or after a certain surgical procedure, these directions (care plan) will be limited to only those specific interventions that are different for this particular client." http://connection.lww.com/products/carpenito-careplans/11Steps-Intro.asp ****************************************************** Nurs 1100: Care Plan Guidelines, CH LaBonne M.A., C.E.S., R.N.C.: Henry P.

Use of the guidelines in your first care plan." http://ro.com/~theholts/NURS1100/careplan.htm ****************************************************** Transitional Care Planning, National Cancer Institute:"Transitional care can be defined as that which is required to facilitate a shift from one disease stage and/or place of care to another. For example, as disease progresses, a patient may proceed through phases of illness that require vastly differing levels of emphasis in the goals of care, and consequently the nature of care delivery. An individual may have a disease that is amenable to curative therapy; the major goal of therapy may focus on this. Another stage of cancer may be more amenable to an intense focus on palliation. In many cases a balance between both is the goal. For increasing numbers of individuals, challenging transitions also occur from "illness" to "health."

As patients from the outpatient MS Center used the inpatient services, the nursing staff requested assistance in their overall management of these patients. This standard care plan was the result. The inservice staff found that it improved care and provided a consistent format for assessment both for in- and outpatients. The MS Center nursing staff also found that the care plan aided communication with nursing personnel in other areas. The MS Center is now a division of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine."

After searching the marketplace in response to customer inquiries, it became obvious that there were no catalogs of this type serving the nursing profession. To be sure, there were several catalogs offering nurse's uniforms and a smattering of professional items. But there weren't any catalogs at the time offering a range of gifts, clothing, professional items, name badges, shoes and scrubs for nurses. It took two years of hard work to gather samples and put a together a catalog of the most unique and high-quality items for nurses." Nurses Station P.O.
