The history of professional health education presents an important movement for nursing education in Brazil. During the Getúlio Vargas’s administration (1930-1945) public policies imposed the inclusion of women in the social space and the emergence of nurses’ role in all regions in the country. The above formalized the Nursing Program proposed by the Rockefeller Foundation to the Ministry of Education and Health (MES) through the Special Public Health Service (SESP). Historical documents on this movement reassemble decisive changes in the history of nursing, which, led by women, had a powerful impact on female professional education.

Keywords : History of Feminine Education; History of Nursing; New State.
