The CARE Plan for Success When a person becomes a member of the CARE Centre, she or he meets with a counsellor to set up an individualized CARE Plan for Success. Everyone has different needs. Some have specific nursing skills that they need to obtain, while others need help juggling family responsibilities and course work. Whatever the need, a CARE Plan for Success will be tailored to them. Here are some of the steps in making a CARE Plan for Success: Write a nursing readiness assessment to find any gaps in clinical knowledge Select the CARE services and training needed to improve knowledge and skills Review career goals Choose a date to take the nursing registration exam

CARE helps nurses to set their goals, review their skills and make their own path to success.
