Abstract
This article describes one nurse's experiences of returning to school after a 10-year absence, her introduction to nursing theory and terminology, and her subsequent implementation of nursing language in a long-term care setting and later experiences in teaching nursing language to students. A 21-year career as a long-term care nurse coincided with the evolution of the new organization North American Nursing Diagnosis Association International, and she found herself in a position to implement nursing diagnosis in the long-term care setting. Practice experiences and pertinent nursing references and resources were used in clinical implementation and in teaching nursing students. The author reviewed the implementation and teaching of nursing language from a personal historical perspective. The author's experiences and perspectives on implementation of nursing language in clinical practice and in teaching provide information and a perspective for nurses and students involved in these processes.
