The trouble with specialised language for nursing

I DO NOT BELIEVE that an international language (Clark 1999a) can take account of what nursing is in practical terms. To nurse someone is to enter into a relationship that has personal and social dimensions. The variability of nursing, where no two encounters are alike, is hardly fertile ground for what the International Classification Team is trying to do.
