[Clarice Della Torre Ferrarini: the testimony of a pioneer in nursing management in Brazil].
The testimony is drawn from interviews conducted with the nurse Clarice Della Torre Ferrarini in 1996 and 1997 as part of data collection for the doctoral dissertation entitled History of nurse managers: subsidies for an understanding of a reference model on the organization of nursing services from 1950 through 1980 (História de Enfermeiras gerentes: subsídios para a compreensão de um modelo-referência de organização de serviços de enfermagem no período de 1950 ti 1980). The article describes and exemplifies the process of transcription, validation, and authorization to which these interviews were submitted. The product reveals the interviewee's trajectory from the time she chose her profession through her performance of a series of leadership roles within the realm of nursing management, covering a career of fifty years at institutions such as São Paulo's Hospital das Clínicas, the Brazilian Ministry of Health, and the Brazilian Nursing Association, among others.
