OBJECTIVE: To describe the development of hypertext organization to facilitate nursing education and nurse's decision-making process. METHODS: Hypermedia Modeling Technique (HMT) and Bloom's Taxonomy of Educational Objectives was used in this five-stage study. The five stages of the study consisted of Analysis and Planning, Modeling, Implementation, Evaluation, Maintenance and Distribution. RESULTS: HMT was useful to categorize and classify objects and to determine their semantic associations, and to define navigability that minimizes users' disorientation. CONCLUSION: Modeling and definition of educational objectives contributed to the development of the hypertext software and its utilization in nursing education.
