Did you source the devel/setup.bash file?

$ cd <path-to-catkin_ws>
$ source devel/setup.bash

Try to source the ROS environment parameters

echo "source <path_to_workspace>/devel/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc

Close the current terminal and run a new one. You should see the node in the list. If you don't want to close the current terminal, do this:

source ~/.bashrc

Note: Pimentel answer is also correct, but you have to do it everytime you open a new terminal. If you added the source command to the bashrc, it will be loaded automatically.
