Defining the Knowledge of Nursing Nursing diagnoses define the knowledge of professional nursing. You have a wealth of that knowledge in light of your nursing education, experience and the country and culture in which you practice nursing. Your nursing knowledge, as expressed through standardized nursing diagnosis language, is what makes the NANDA-I taxonomy a global standard. Thank you – we look forward to working with you.

You've found us!  In 2002, we became NANDA International (NANDA-I) to reflect worldwide use of nursing diagnosis terminology. Though our name changed, our vision remains consistent and clear: NANDA-I will be a global force for the development and use of nursing's standardized terminology to improve the health care of all people.
