Abstract
Nursing training is a complex and dynamic practice that merits constant theoretical and methodological revisions of aspects such as the disciplinary and professional aspects as it is a constitutive part of its nature, whose reflection contributes to the development of the profession and the consolidation of professional identity. Objective: To describe the meanings that the professors, students, graduates and the administration assign to the disciplinary and professional components in the training of nurses in the Nursing program at Antioquia University, Medellin, Colombia. Method: Educational evaluative investigation with ethnographic focus. Interviews, document revisions, observations and discussion groups were completed. Results: In the training of nurses, the meanings assigned to the disciplinary and professional aspects are built on agreements and disagreements in relation to intentions, concepts and actions of the participants. All are aspects that materialize in traditional educational practices framed by a morbidity-centered lesson plan with few articulations of theories and the nursing mind, which does not allow for the building of a clear care concept or the consolidation of a professional identity. Conclusion: The meanings assigned to the disciplinary and professional aspects during training are what give meaning to the concepts and practices in nursing. Its understanding contributes to the re-orientation of pedagogical actions that allow for the development of an academic program consistent with its developmental disciplinary and profesional essence and objective.
