[Institutionalization of nursing teaching in Paraiba: a trip to the past].
The purpose of this study was to carry out an historical rescue of the institutionalization of nursing education as it occurred in Paraíba. Due to the lack of written information on this subject, the authors carried out the research relying on primary and secondary oral sources. The authors verified that the institutionalization of nursing education in Paraíba occurred in the 1950's, period in which the so-called medical-sanitary model was in vogue at public health services. Among the many significant moments of the study, the authors highlight an interview with Mrs. Doralice Kluppel, a nurse which participated in the team of teachers which established the first School of Nursing in Paraíba, for she brings out feelings of worth and respect for the work carried out by this group of forerunners in nursing education in Paraíba.
