Nursing history: transcendence of care phenomenon and its relationship with time

Abstract

History is a discipline that contributes to the nursing to trace the significance of their professional work, caring. The close relationship with time reminds us of Martin Heidegger as the philosopher who raises an inseparable articulation between time and the being through caring. As we reflect on the philosophical context of caring and its relation to time, which identifies a paradox in nursing professional work, who are serving schedules, routines and activities outside the ethical issue of giving one point for each thing affected by accelerated dynamics, overcrowding of patients in health institutions, making it impossible to provide care as such, as its temporality is to meet the needs for the existence of the person from allowing conceptualize care as a whole being and in that sense, have the time required to perform satisfactorily quality care and encourage the process the construction of discipline.
