Nursing has its own special, diagnostic vocabulary—one that reflects the judgments nurses make every day.

The first established language of this kind is NANDA International's Nursing Diagnosis (ND). It is the result of a systematic process created for diagnosis development and classification.

Advancing the continued development and refinement of this nursing language is the work of NANDA International. ND is recognized as an official nursing language by the American Nurses Association.

Nearly 170 nursing diagnoses are organized in our published taxonomy, Nursing Diagnoses: Definitions and Classification. Your knowledge and clinical experience are needed to help expand and refine them!

Our language/terminology integrates well with computer software being developed for:
 • accounting • bookkeeping, and • documenting plans of care.

...this relevance and flexibility will yield better, more efficient nursing practice and patient care.

Nursing language/terminology is the key to defining the future of nursing practice. And NANDA International's ND is in the forefront. Join us and become a part of this exciting process!

ND gives you tools for better patient care
