Study Guides & Resources

Nursing Diagnoses Study Guide/Reference Booklet

Nursing Diagnosis Concept Maps

We are given a handful of diagnoses each week to complete into our Nursing Diagnosis Booklet. These are the selected diagnoses. There is one diagnosis per page. I used Ackley's Nursing Diagnosis Handbook: An Evidence-Based Guide to Planning Care 12th edition (ISBN: 978-0-323-55112-0) to make these notes. I will update the Google Doc's link periodically as I type them up and add them to my master booklet.

Each 1-2 page diagnosis has the page number where the diagnosis can be found in Ackley's, as well as listed relevant information such as the definition, assessment, risk factors, defining characteristics, related factors, at-risk population, associated condition, NOC, client outcomes, and NIC.

For a few diagnoses, I have concept maps (see previous post for concept map template).

First clinical rotation done and it was not nearly as scary as my anxiety made it out to be. Actually, it was one of the best experiences I've had thus far in nursing school. 

Clinical aside from gaining hands on experiences, is where one (nursing student) will figure out where their passion is and what route they may want to pursue after graduating. I have always wanted to follow the pediatric route, initially wanting to become a midwife. I won’t know for sure if midwifery is actually for me until I step into the OB realm though, I can say pediatrics is definitely the right path for me.

I have always struggled with changing careers and feeling like I have found my passion and today for the first time in 30 years, I said to myself, wow I can actually see myself being a nurse in the pediatric cardiac unit every day and I would thoroughly love it. 

That being said, I am looking forward to the rest of this semester and enjoying every minute I get to spend with 2B at Dupont. <3
