[Hilda Anna Krisch: a nursing pioneer in Santa Catarina--education and contribution for the profession].
This is a socio-historical research whose objective is to unveil the historicity of the first nurse in Santa Catarina who graduated at a Nursing School in the twentieth century, a character who had a prominent role in the national scene for her performance as a nurse. The data collection was carried out through the examination of many historical documents: interviews conducted with her and other people who had been part of the scene of the time, as well as other documentary sources, such as letters, school and professional reports, pictures, among others. To analyse the data, it was used an approach based on the social imagery. The data allowed us to identify her origins and path as a nurse, as well as the activities performed during her professional life. It can be concluded that Hilda Anna Krisch was a leader in the field not only in Santa Catarina but also in Brazil due to her role inside and outside her professional specialty.
