Data collection was done in the database Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences, between 2005 and August 2012. The descriptors used were: Higher Education, Curriculum, Teaching, all of them associated with the main descriptor: Nursing Education. We included 82 studies to research this topic. From the complete reading of the studies yielded the following categories: "Curriculum", "Teacher", "Teaching-Learning Process", "Students" and "Evaluation". The results identified the authors concern in nursing education with issues of critical care actions integral to the community. We must move forward in relation to the adoption of theoretical emancipation that needs to be incorporated and discussed forming between instances of the nurse.
