Free Care Plans
Free care plans list: Browse our care plan database for nurses and nursing students below to learn more about how care plans are arranged, organized, and created. We have placed these care plans online so that nursing students (and pre-nursing students) can get an idea of how care plans are created, and what care plans will look like in nursing school. These are meant for educational purposes only, and are not designed to be actual treatment protocols for patients.
While we encourage nursing students to view these care plans to help them understand how they are developed (and to practice creating them), students should never copy them as their own homework. It is very important to learn how care plans are created, as this is a vital part of the nursing process--even though they can be tedious to complete in nursing school. If you want to learn more about care plans, please see our nursing care plans article.
