Hello everyone.........I came across this site whilst looking for some information for my major assignment....I live in Australia and at 40 years old im just starting my nursing career. I KNOW big step LOL....But after being a mum for 16 years i feel i need to do this for myself...Anyway i was wondering if anyone could tell where i could find some information about preparing a care plan for an elderly resident who is being admitted to a aged care facility...Ive search the web and was hoping to find an example of one to use as a reference guide....ANY HELP would be greatly appreciated......Thanks very much.....
Hi and welcome.....I too went back to school when I was 32 and a Mom of teenaagers. All I can say is be organized.It will be the hardest thing, but the most fun! Congrats...You will love it!!!!!!Just remember, You do not have all the symptoms of some rare disease when your patho! (If you don't get that joke, you will!)

As far as a reference guide, have you tried asking a long term facility? Often they will have standardized are plans all ready done. Good Luck...TTYL
