Why INKA?
The transition from NANDA® International to the International Nursing Knowledge Association (INKA) reflects the continued evolution of our work and mission.
International
INKA reflects the global reach of our community and collaborations. Our members, Network Groups, educators, researchers, and partners represent nursing communities across more than 40 countries, supporting the development and advancement of nursing knowledge worldwide.
Nursing Knowledge
Nursing diagnoses remain central to our work. At the same time, our focus has expanded through NANDA® 360 to support nursing knowledge across the full nursing process through assessment-driven, diagnosis-centered clinical reasoning, including patient goals, outcomes, and nursing actions.
Association
INKA remains a member-driven professional association. Our work continues to be shaped by nurses, educators, researchers, clinicians, and leaders who contribute to the ongoing development, refinement, and application of nursing knowledge in practice, education, and research.
While our name has evolved, our commitment remains the same: strengthening the visibility, structure, and development of nursing knowledge worldwide.
