What is NANDA Exactly ?
The North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (NANDA) went international in 2002 and changed its name to NANDA International (NANDA-I). NANDA-I is a global network of nurses whose purpose is to define, promote and continue working on terminology that reflects nurses' clinical judgments--also known as nursing diagnoses. Establishing an internationally recognized standard set of terms nurses can use to reflect their knowledge to patients, colleagues, members of other disciplines and the public provides many advantages in the health care industry, according to NANDA-I.
History
NANDA was spurred by the First National Conference held by the National Conference Group in St. Louis, Missouri in 1973. In 2002, it changed its name to NANDA-I to accurately reflect the organization's growing international community and its intention of creating standards in terminology that are recognized and respected worldwide. Since its inception, NANDA has approved over 200 nursing diagnoses for use in clinical settings, testing and refinement.
Purpose and Mission
NANDA-I openly hopes to become the organization behind recognized global standards for nursing diagnoses in clinical practices and to determine interventions and outcomes. NANDA-I believes establishing evidence-based, standard terminology will help ensure patient safety by providing consistently used terminology that accurately reflects nurses' knowledge and experience.
Administration
NANDA-I is organized by a board of directors and committees. The Board of Directors establishes administrative policies; develops and implements strategies to accomplish NANDA-I's purposes and mission; provides reports and prepares audits; cares for the properties, records and securities of the association; and provides for the bonding of Board officials.
Four main committees comprise NANDA-I, headed by at least one director. These are the Taxonomy Committee, the Diagnosis Development Committee, the Informatics Committee, and the Research and Education Committee.
NANDA Foundation
The NANDA Foundation is governed and managed separately from NANDA-I. As outlined by its website, the Foundation is designed to promote the development, use and refinement nursing diagnoses on a standardized level; to promote studying the relationship of nursing diagnoses to patient care, interventions and outcomes; and to promote nursing diagnoses usage in all branches of nursing, including administration, practice and education. The NANDA Foundation also awards grants for the development, refinement and validation of nursing diagnoses.
Membership
NANDA-I offers a variety of membership and fee levels to nurses and nursing students. Fees are dependent on the member's country of residence and status. Fees for each country are based on the World Health Organization's classification of that country. For instance, regular members in a Class I Country pay an annual fee of $105; those in a Class II country pay $55 annually; and those in a Class III country pay $40 annually.
Those holding a regular membership must fulfill their country's requirements for professional nursing licensure. Associate members are vendors and organizations related to nursing education, practice, research or representation. Retired members are those who, as it sounds, have retired from nursing practice, and student members are verified nursing students. Regular and retired members can vote, hold office or serve on committees, but associate and student members cannot.

So what is a Nursing Diagnosis anyway ?
Nursing diagnosis
A nursing diagnosis is a standardized statement about to the health of a client (individual, family, or community) for the purpose of providing nursing care. One organization for defining standard diagnoses is the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association now known as NANDA-InternationalStructure of diagnoses
Here are five types of nursing diagnoses in the NANDA system.
An actual diagnosis is a statement about a health problem that the client has, and could benefit from nursing care. An example of an actual nursing diagnosis is: Ineffective airway clearance related to decreased energy and evidenced by an ineffective cough.
A risk diagnosis is a statement about a health problem that the client doesn’t have yet, but is at a higher than normal risk of developing in the near future. An example of a risk diagnosis is: Risk for injury related to altered mobility and disorientation.
Read your STUDY GUIDE friends as to the Excelsior approved areas of NANDA, They don't like wellness diagnosis, or syndrome labels, simply because we don't really get the chance to spend any quality time with our patients, in order for you to establish that type of diagnosis, therefor it really does not fit is this case. They like you to use Nanda Diagnosis that are happening right now, during your 2.5 hours with your patient, based on the RN's report, and your patients last 24 hour status(preferably last 4 hours of patient status). If you go to see your patient and the overall nursing Diagnosis that you choose is no longer valid, than you will need to make modifications or changes that you deem necessary, and document your changes based on the recommendations of our Study Guide 17th Edition. Most of all, It's Impairative that it be adapted to your areas of care that you will be completing, otherwise they will not accept it and you will fail. Not meant to confuse anyone, just make sure that it is as basic, simplified and pertinent for the purpose of your assigned areas of care. I'm gonna try my best here, no one is claiming to be perfect, or employed by Excelsior...so enjoy, and please participate with me...
