title: [Nursing doctors and doctoral students: reasons for getting a master's degree in other areas].
abstract: There are in Brazil only 37 nursing doctors and doctoral students who obtained the Master degree in other area. A set of questions--concerning the reasons of the choice, the enrollment in the Program and the suggestions related to the nurses in similar situation and to the Nursing Schools--was mailed to this group. The answers showed that the option, in spite of being determined by several circumstances, sets up a valuable experience and is part of the history of the nursing graduate programs in Brazil.
