“…Studies report that the predominance of women in nursing is explained by its paradigm, created in a distant time, in the period before Christ, in which the act of caring for other people and sick has always been culturally more related to woman than to man (16) .…”

“…The findings of this study indicate that the possibility of employability largely determined nurses' professional choice. This aspect was fundamental for the professional choice in both groups, as the interviewees aspired to a professionalization that provided the development of their potentialities, which seems to break, in a way, with references from the sexist stereotype (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10) . In this sense, the identity of oneself as "servile" and "devoted" pointed out by other studies (11)(12) , which analyzed the reasons for professional choice for nursing, was not expressed in both groups analyzed.…”

“…In the history of the construction of the nurse's professional and social identity, the influence inherited by religion and medicine stood out. The movement to turn away from religion produced the rapprochement with technology and medical knowledge and, later, with other fields of knowledge, such as sociology and psychosociology, forming a body of knowledge and gathering knowledge from different areas (5) .…”

Objective: To analyse a professional trajectory and how identity conformations of a group of nurses in professional practice in Brazil. Methods: Qualitative study that used the in-depth interviews with nurses in professional practice from 1998 to 2014. Seven nurses working in the various organizational areas of the health systems participated and 3 nurses working in educational and research institutions. The narratives were analyzed in the light of Claude’s Dubar theoretical framework and the content analysis technique. Results: The findings demonstrate that career choice is associated with employability, giving little identity. The findings demonstrate that career choice is associated with employability, giving little identity. The formative processes contribute to the (re) construction of identity, as they have produced an anticipation of the future trajectory, identification of job opportunities, recognition, prestige and self-esteem. The care dimension gives greater identity to the workers. Conclusion: The study brings important elements for reflection on the determinants that affect the continuous reconstruction of professional identity, in view of the changes that have been operating in the labor market, in vocational training and in the work of nurses.

“…Characteristics such as obedience, submission, religiosity and discipline have closely accompanied the history of Nursing, an essentially female profession, related to providing care to patients as a natural attribute of women. It is important to say that analyses of stereotypes related to female professions have been the focus of multicenter studies aimed at understanding sociocultural and military factors for the reversal of prejudices (13)(14)(15) .…”

Objective: Understand the structuring and operation of the Nursing Service on the hospital ship HOPE and the relations between Nursing from North America and from Rio Grande do Norte. Method: Qualitative, sociohistorical research, developed by consulting documentary and oral sources. Results: The analysis revealed the categories: The HOPE Project: impressions of its nurses and Nursing on the hospital ship SS HOPE: Brazilian impressions. These categories revealed a Nursing Service similar to that of a general hospital, ordered by scales and which functioned uninterruptedly in the three shifts. Final considerations: The Nursing Service consisted exclusively of nurses; followed a hierarchical system; with accumulation of administrative and care functions; strict, precise and technical execution of the work. The language and cultural barriers do not seem to have compromised the Exchange and the work system in counterparts.
