All good advice, but one thing I would advise, is to remove about 2-3 inches of the plaster surrounding the area to be repaired. This is easily accomplished by using a hand planer, just set the cutting depth to about 1/32" or so. Use a topcoat type mud and apply with at least a 10" knife. Don't fuss with it too much for the first coat, wait until the next day. Good luck.
