This article focuses on nursing teaching in Portugal. The objective is to identify the landmarks in its
evolution until the end of the 21th century. Nursing profession in Portugal was originally related to the medical activity and
was mostly practiced in a hospital setting. During the most part of the 20th century, nursing was treated as an occupation
of devoted and submissive women, with basic education, whose only role was to help doctors with patient care. After the
Carnation Revolution, in 1974, the nursing profession was taught in three levels and students should have reached a
higher education level to attend the nursing course, because these professionals should be prepared to participate in the
country’s planning. The creation of the Nursing Board conferred an autonomous status to this profession. Another
decisive step toward nursing’s independence was taken in 1999 when nursing began to be taught at a graduate level.
