[Nursing visibility: could the I.C.N.P. help?].
The present article discusses the visibility of Nursing care through the use of a Nursing classification "International Classification of Nursing Practice, proposed by the International Council of Nurses (ICN). The usefulness of a specific classification is discussed and comparison with the medical classifications are reasoned. Examples of experimentation are brought for sustaining the utility of the ICNP in the clinical practice, in education, in the Nursing management and in politics. To have a common language world-wide sustains the development of the discipline and the empowerment of Nursing profession.
