Resumen
BURGOS MORENO, Mónica y PARAVIC KLIJN, Tatiana. Nursing assessed as a profession. Rev Cubana Enfermer [online]. 2009, vol.25, n.1-2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-2961.
This article aims to introduce the concept of nursing as a profession in order to argue whether it meets the criteria to be considered as such. It is therefore necessary to take into account the historical evolution of the professional concept in nursing, which is associated with health care and the formal instruction that has been taught since the time of Florence Nightingale. Nursing as a profession is analyzed according to the characteristics identified by Ellis and Hartley, including issues such as: knowledge, methodology, education level, autonomy, ethics, social contribution, and compensation. It can be concluded that nursing is a young profession and there are grounds to argue that there are tools available to further develop this occupation.
