Abstract

The historical retrospective allows the
analysis of the facts in a critical and reflexive way,
looking for answers to questions that arise in the
comtemporary Nursing prctice. The theory-practice
dichotomy, the care centered only in know-how-tomake,
the submission of the category and its
consequent lack of autonomy have historical roots
in the professional construction of Nursing, in its
practice as well as in the teaching process. We
present an analysis of the n° 791 Decree signed by
Marechal Deodoro da Fonseca, president of the
Brazilian Republic at the time, which isntitued the fisrt
school of Nursing in Brazil. The analysis of such
decue in its historical context allow us to infer that
teaching of Nursing in Brazil emphasizes the
technical aspects since then.
