I have removed the categories that link to medicine as nursing has its own category. Nursing is a healthcare profession closely allied to medicine but is not a branch of medicine--Vincej 21:14, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I was asked to provide a cite for the statement that "many nurses feel, however, that nursing diagnoses are an ivory tower mentality and are not relevant to clinical practice." I wrote this from my general impression from working in nursing and reading some nursing liturature, but it's valid to ask for something more concrete than that. I did a quick google search and came up with [1] which is a discussion board including some candid observations on the validitiy of NDs. I vaguely recall reading something in one of nanda's journal articles to that effect, I'll see if I can find it again. Matt 01:10, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

I also found [2] which isn't from NANDA, but I can't seem to find any NANDA stuff now. I might look it up next time I'm at school. Matt 01:42, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

Ok, that seems to be a critical, balanced look at the problem. I would like to paraphrase the conclusions from that article, which would mean replacing the current criticism. --Viriditas | Talk 01:58, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
