And you would admit the nurse (patient) no differently than any other person. Just because this person is/was a nurse is irrelevant to the care plan and treatment needed and given. Plan care based on subjective and objective data the patient is presenting at admission and during your observation and care.

Good Luck

writing goals and desired outcomes, the nurse should follow these tips:

Write goals and outcomes in terms of client responses and not as activities of the nurse. ...

Avoid writing goals on what the nurse hopes to accomplish, and focus on what the client will do.

Use observable, measurable terms for outcomes.

Using an appropriate student friendly scale to rule out the symptoms of depression is very important. From there you move ahead to plan your care & management
