title: [Fragments of history: the nurse becoming a subject of herself].
abstract: The purpose of this survey is to analyze how the Nursing Graduation teaching has contributed for legitimizing and crystallizing the knowledge, as a subaltern profession and the keeper of such status quo, and for providing visibility to the constitution of another discourse based on the practices. The survey has involved nurses and teachers over 60 years of age. The discourse analysis has been utilized for the documentary analysis. The data indicate the little progress in some truth regimes, among which we could mention: the perpetuation of a teaching still centered in a biology, healing and hospital-centered model, and the little or almost no autonomy for exercising the competencies of the professional exercise in certain health scenarios.
