Exercise of Leadership by Nurse Leaders of a Class Entity from 1926 to 1974

“…Therefore, many former leaders of the ABEn received the honorable mention of this award (Oguisso, 2003;Pinheiro, 1969;Alcântara, 1960;Oguisso et al, 2009;Ferrarini, 1968). It should be noted that the 1 st Award of Nurse of the Year in 1967 was given to the leader who published various articles in national and international journals, receiving several awards for her work presented in nursing events (Azevedo, Carvalho, & Gomes, 2009;Ferrarini, 1968). Another recognition was the granting of the title of honorary member of the Associação Nacional de Enfermeiras Diplomadas (ANED) to the first Brazilian nurse who had a vast cultural capital, similar to that of American nurses, and was able to leverage the feminist movement for Brazilian nursing (ManciaI & PadilhaII, 2006).…”

The title of Doctor Honoris Causa, only granted by EEAN, was granted to the leader who addressed the State of Sergipe for a social cause and contributed with the creation of schools, kindergartens and hospitals, through her political influence (Azevedo et al, 2009).

The political positioning of the leaders at that time allowed the law that established the nurse as a senior technical-scientific professional in the Federal Public Service to be sanctioned, while it also boosted Nursing to the university level, with the corresponding remuneration (Carvalho, 2008;Azevedo et al, 2009). In this context, the consolidation of professional nursing was a priority for these leaders, who considered that, for the profession to be established, there should be a school, an association and a journal.…”

A inserção de Waleska Paixão na enfermagem

“…As suas contribuições para os avanços da enfermagem e para a evolução do ensino da profissão no Brasil são reconhecidas com a sua inserção no "banco de dados denominado Quem é Quem na História de Enfermagem Brasileira, do Núcleo de Pesquisa de História de Enfermagem Brasileira -Nuphebras" 5 . As razões que nos levaram a propor este estudo estão relacionadas ao nosso interesse e motivação por pesquisas sobre a profissão enfermagem, particularmente a sua história, a nossa trajetória na docência de enfermagem, bem como a maior visibilidade que os estudos biográficos vêm adquirindo no campo da história da enfermagem.…”

It is a history-social narrative in which the description of the facts and biographical phenomena is contextual and thematic, being information generated from printed and online references that relate to this study (2) .
