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
