Plan "D" for the Nursing career arises from the search of a curricular improvement from the instructions of the Ministry of Higher Education of moving toward a new generation of syllabi. This paper shows some final results from an investigation which was approved as a Branch Project by the Office of Science and Technology of the Public Health Ministry. The general objective of this paper was to characterize the students' academic performance at "10 de Octubre" Medical School (Havana Medical University). It is a cohort study, which was also quantitative, analytical, longitudinal and retroprospective with the use of qualitative techniques from the academic year 2006-2007 to 2012-2013. As a whole the academic performance of the students changed significantly according to their vocational training as technicians either technological or emergent. The causes of these results depend on many factors and the main ones are personal and vocation to the profession.
