[Technological education: why it is not relevant to the health field].
This study discusses the National Curriculum Policies for professional education in technology, and its implementation in the health field, more especifically in the nursing field. The matter is approached from three different topics: 1) the contextualization of technological education, 2) the legal rationale, 3) the creation of human resources for SUS (Public Health system). As a conclusion, the study points out that the nursing professional would have his/her work even more fragmented than it already is. According to the study, this kind of education does not meet the needs of assistance in the present days, considering the complexity of problems related to it, the advancement of knowledge, and population growth.
