As part of an important Western trend, the professionalization of Quebec nurses was initially characterized by the enormous challenge of rallying all nurses into adhering to a single professional model. The story starts in 1895 when an elite corps of English-Protestant nurses established the Canadian Nurses Association. These graduates of the Montreal General Hospital were quite active within the English Canadian nursing movement promoting the ideal of the trained nurse, conceived by Florence Nightingale in England. They also fought for professional registration, in keeping with the American trend. The task of rallying French Catholics to the cause of registration soon proved difficult however, as disparities between schools and associations as well as between linguistic and religious groups became apparent. The 1920 Nurses Registration Bill did not put an end to the conflict, unfortunately. By an immediate and controversial alliance, French Catholic physicians and nurses attempted to contest the law which penalized them. If the alliance between them proved beneficial to French-Catholic nurses then, it cost the latter their professional autonomy.
作为西方一项重要趋势的一部分，魁北克护士专业化最初的特点是，要让所有护士都遵守单一专业模式面临巨大挑战。故事始于1895年，一群英国新教精英护士成立了加拿大护士协会。这些蒙特利尔综合医院的毕业生在加拿大英语区护理运动中非常活跃，推动了由英国的弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔构想的专业护士理想。他们还按照美国的趋势，为专业注册而奋斗。然而，很快就证明，要让法国天主教徒支持注册事业是一项艰巨任务，因为学校与协会之间以及语言和宗教团体之间的差异变得明显起来。不幸的是，1920年的护士注册法案并没有结束这场冲突。通过一个即时且有争议的联盟，法国天主教医生和护士试图对惩罚他们的法律提出质疑。如果说他们之间的联盟当时对法国天主教护士有利的话，那么这也让后者失去了职业自主权。
