Abstract:

This article focuses on the perception of nursing as a low-prestige occupation in the 19th century. The history of nursing produced by professionals in the area reinforced this conception. However, the profile of the enfermeiro-mor (head nurse) position, present in the Santas Casas, points out a broader social spectrum of the nursing profession. The authors support the hypothesis that this negative assessment is based only on more visible patient care activities. The presence of the enfermeiro-mor exemplifies the limits of a generalization of the social devaluation of nursing. The conclusion is the generalized assumption that nursing was only about basic health care is not acceptable.
