This issue of our journal contains the inaugural column of a new feature. When the Editorial Board of the journal met in St. Louis at NANDA's 25th year anniversary celebration, we discussed strategies to further spread the word that nursing diagnosis is alive, well, and at work daily in clinical settings. The idea for this column was born, and it will appear regularly from now on.
I can think of no better beginning than the one Dr. Judy Carlson-Catalano has given us. Dr. Catalano not only uses nursing diagnosis in her private nursing practice; she uses nursing diagnosis to advertise her work. I invite you to read and enjoy the first column of Nursing Diagnosis at Work. MKMJ.
