BARROS, Amailson Sandro de  and  HEROLD JUNIOR, Carlos. The conception of nursing work by studentes and teachers from a technical course. Rev. Reflex [online]. 2016, vol.24, n.3, pp.162-188. ISSN 1982-9949.  https://doi.org/10.17058/rea.v24i3.2902.

This article aims at presenting the conception of work envisioned by students and teachers from a technical course on nursing. For that end, we interviewed 12 students and 03 teachers from the course. The data was collected through structured interviews. The data obtained pointed to a concept of work relied on pleasure and satisfaction for caring, as well as source of remuneration, which is related to the ideological background perpetuated that associates nursing to dedication, obedience and material detachment. The speech of the participants disregards the shock between capital and labor and the social construction and historical exploitation of the workforce, keeping strongly the dogma of charity in the field of nursing. The reports pointed to the dual character of the work which comprises the abstract and concrete conceptions, leading to a division between intellectual labor versus manual work and precarization of labor in nursing and teaching.
