Resumo:
This study aims to report as the profession of nursing began in the city of Vitória da Conquista, Bahia, as well as what professionals participated and are still part of it. Therefore, it was necessary to traverse paths in search of documents in order to continue the process, and propose new directions for the historical record of that ploy. It was noted certain difficulty of nursing professionals in making recordings of their practice, considering the lack of importance given to the systematic filing of documents in which were recorded the deployment of institutions, training courses and qualifications for nursing. In addition, some situations and forms of strict management nursing exist because we inherited the leadership base of our forerunners, who, according to the history, were very strict, allowing no argument on the part of their subordinates or no interference in their decisions. However, advances were observed from the implementation of various courses on technical level in the city, encouraging the represented category by the new staff presented to the market to give importance to recording and archiving the memory of the professional category, technicians and nurses.
