Nursing curricula in the 80s--the impact of nursing diagnosis. 1988

G Whitley, and A Dillon

School of Nursing, Northern Illinois University, DeKalb.

Both theory in nursing diagnosis and practice in diagnostic reasoning are imperative to prepare graduates to utilize nursing diagnosis at a level consistent with established standards. As nurses and students speak "the language of nursing diagnosis," they do so because they have learned to think "nursing diagnosis" and it becomes increasingly difficult to remember what nursing was like without it and to communicate with those who do not use it.
