A Global Partnership
NANDA-I is a professional association that defines and standardizes nursing terminology used in nursing practice, research, educational curricula, and informatics.
The Marjory Gordon Program, a focus of the Connell School of Nursing and NANDA-I, advances, educates, and disseminates nursing knowledge internationally. The Program also fosters a deeper understanding for the articulation of nursing鈥檚 contribution to patient, family, and community care outcomes through clinical reasoning and the testing and refinement of nursing language (nursing diagnosis).
Through online educational programs and a biennial conference, nurses can participate in the advancement of nursing knowledge and engage in dialogue around clinical reasoning and the communication of nursing judgments about patients using nursing diagnosis.听
These experiences foster dialogue among nurses and other professionals and uncover nursing knowledge that will influence education, change professional practice, impact health policy, and help shape the future of nursing research.
