Celebrate our 40th Anniversary!
This event marks a historical event – for 40 years NANDA International has been developing terminology to define the knowledge of nursing – longer than any other standardized nursing terminology in existence! 

Important Nursing Language Milestones
The event also marks 20 years since the Nursing Intervention Classification (NIC) has been available, and 15 years since the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) has been providing nurse-sensitive outcomes. Added together, we have 75 years of experience in naming what nurses know, what they do and the outcomes they achieve!

Enjoy Houston!
Houston may well be the cultural capital of Texas, with an amazing range of sites to see: first-rate museums, nightly concerts, theater and dance, parks, and world-class shopping. It is a multicultural city boasting 83 spoken languages.
