Best Nursing Schools

Providing more than 90 standard plans of care for the most commonly occurring medical-surgical conditions in adults, this interactive CD-ROM helps users eliminate the time spent mechanically constructing plans of care. Ideal for both students and clinicians, this CD-ROM reflects the most current practice and professional standards in nursing, yet its level and format are extremely accessible. Users are offered three points of entry to begin constructing an individualized plan of client care - including the program's Client Database/Assessment Form, the Admitting Medical Diagnosis list, and the NANDA Nursing Diagnosis list. Each point of entry allows users to make selections, input and edit information specific to their client, and customize their care plans. Each care plan also includes expected outcomes, nursing interventions, rationales for the most common nursing diagnoses, and client goals.

Helpful Time Saver By One Busy Person This has saved a lot of time from having to type out each applicable NANDA, NIC & NOC lables. It does not have every medical diagnosis possible, but it does have the major ones. If you are handy with computers and in nursing school, this can help save time. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Don't waste your money or the time to try to get this to work! By Kristina A. Bailey Our school is switcing to care maps instead of care plans and I thought this would be very useful, but gosh was I ever wrong! It keeps crashing my system and locking up and I have tried to re-install several times to no avail. Also, when I did get it to partially work once, when entering the nursing diagnoses, you have to choose from a drop down list and can't add your own or change ANYTHING about their wording- even though their list is not up to date for all of NANDA's diagnoses. Not helpful to me, actually probably wasted 20 hours of my time and the money I am out for purchasing a useless product.I am very disappointed in Mosby to offer such a substandard program. 5 of 7 people found the following review helpful.
