Abstract

The objective of our article was to know the organization of the three main nursing professions: professional level nurses, nursing technicians and nursing auxiliaries. We investigate the historical configuration of these occupations, from Brazil colony to the present day and, taking into account the relations of gender, race/color and social class, we show how the internal technical division of labor was hierarchized from and on such relations. The choice for nursing occurred because this is a traditionally feminine area of work and we talk a little about the cultural motivations of this throughout the text. From documentary research, literature review and online searches, we selected the pieces that substantiated our analyzes. In addition, we present some statistics from 2015 of RAIS – Relação Anual de Informações Sociais do Ministério do Trabalho – that base in statistical terms our hypothesis of segmentation.
