[Modern nursing: the order of care].

With the purpose of placing modern nursing into focus, in this essay I go over the possible conditions for the emergence of nursing practice systems. Based on texts by Michel Foucault and identified with Cultural Studies, I reclaim fragments from nursing history in order to put back together the organization of its practice system at a given historical moment and in a hospital environment. I tell the story of some of this plot's characters in an effort to show that the past can become the product of the present, once it encompasses historical writings devised and set up by the will of its authors. I highlight modern nursing as a practice of care that becomes professional and builds its own knowledge intent on ensuring professional independence.

[Curricular guidelines and pedagogical projects: starting a reflection].

This text presents some reflections which we intend to use as subsidies for discussions stemming from the need to implement the current Curricular Guidelines in undergraduate Nursing programs in Brazil. Having as a reference authors who write from a post-critic perspective in Education, the text proposes a change in focus to address these reflections, namely, answers to questions, from certainty to doubt, from prescription to problematization. Following this line, we suggest that curricular guidelines should aim at providing references for the creation of political-pedagogical projects which articulate both with the political and social demands of the broad-based society as to local needs and interests, without attaching to or submitting to them.

[Anatomy: the bodily order].

In this essay I try to show the source of the knowledge that determines a certain view that the healthcare team, particularly the nursing team, has developed on the body, especially the sick body. I understand that this knowledge determines ways of caring for the hospitalized bodies. Based on texts by Foucault I analyze the subject of Anatomy. I present a brief history of its construction as a field of knowledge since Versalius until today, when we find plastinated and digitized bodies. I highlight the cadaver as the student's first contact with a human body and observe that the illustrations contained in Anatomy books privilege male and white bodies. I characterize the body as a radically historical invention and observe that we are culturally trained to perceive it, in an organized way, from given viewpoints and by using certain lenses.

[The education that we have and the one we want: a perspective on discourses].

This research has the purpose of gaining more understanding about the actions and policies put in place in order to ensure the training of professionals that work in the services of the State Health Care System, considering the direct and intrinsic relation between the education and its final quality. Broken down into 3 perspectives, here labeled as voices, we have tried to identify, by means of the discourses on social control in the area of health, the system's administration, and education represented by the schools of nursing, what are the criticisms and propositions concerning the theme of professional training for the State Health Care System. The text deals with the terms used in the context of professional training, as well as a critical reflection about the new tendencies and paradigms that are on the agenda in current debates and discussions.

[Humanization and its multiple discourses--an analysis from REBEn's content].

This study focuses the meanings and transformations of healthcare humanization along the time through a literature review. The analysis is pointed out by a reading hipothesis of Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem (REBEn) and inspired by the ideas of Michel Focault, specially his discourse concept. It was identified as discourse appering condition: the nursing professional characteristics, the association of humanization meaning to scientific knowledge and the re-affirmation of its traditional meaning related to the new health policies. As delimiting instance of discourse it is presented: nursing, government, and technology. It is also presented the sense attributed to humanization since 1970 decade until the present time.

[Technological education: why it is not relevant to the health field].

This study discusses the National Curriculum Policies for professional education in technology, and its implementation in the health field, more especifically in the nursing field. The matter is approached from three different topics: 1) the contextualization of technological education, 2) the legal rationale, 3) the creation of human resources for SUS (Public Health system). As a conclusion, the study points out that the nursing professional would have his/her work even more fragmented than it already is. According to the study, this kind of education does not meet the needs of assistance in the present days, considering the complexity of problems related to it, the advancement of knowledge, and population growth.
