[Nursing in Ceará: facts, reflections and a proposal for the preservation of history and memory of the profession].
The present study demonstrates the lack or insufficiency of historical records regarding the nursing profession in Ceará in the hope of expanding awareness among professionals of the need to rescue and preserve the history and memory of that category. As an additional means to do so, it suggests establishing a nursing academy in Ceará committed to the memory, present needs and future development of the profession.
