Nursing value demarcation in a perspective technological

This paper consists of describing a reflection about historical demarcation of Nursing in Brazil technologically speaking through of its professional practices. Historically the relation between nursing and technology is mediated by phases of isolation of the scientific-technological work, replaced for a manual one, and finally by the search of scientific knowledge. Thus, Nursing has been building a body of knowledge, started with the pioneering professional background. In different periods of technological background, have been identified in metaphorical language such as "moon phases" about understanding of time of political and social instability, at the same time with the quality of production. The growing initial phase, are followed by "of the new moon" with discoveries and adaptations of nursing and finally, a time characterized by the post-graduation and expansion of undergraduate programs; one "complete full moon" allowing records, patents and technological development of research projects. The nature of this study brought its own questions to the evolution of the technological moment of Brazilian nursing
