I n 1906, the doctor Emilio A. García Sierra publishes the book: "A Manual for nurses and normal deliveries", according to the study programme approved by the Law of 1902. Anatomy, minor surgery, births... are studied in the manual, according to the tasks allowed to be performed by nurses at the begining of the 20th century.
