This study analyzed the increase in the number of undergraduate nursing courses during the last two decades due to the expansion of higher education in Brazil.
A records-based research concerning the legal frameworks that have driven this movement and a quantitative research that described the increase in the number of professional nursing courses. Data were analyzed using thematic content analysis (qualitative) and descriptive statistics (quantitative).
the political-ideological argument present in the regulatory documents, which points out higher education as a possibility to change the current social scenario, has not been reflected in the professional nursing field. The expansion of nursing courses has been unfolding in a disorderly manner and is concentrated in the private sector, with geographical inequality in the distribution of these courses.
There does not seem to be a concern with the local needs and with a connection among education, research and extension, which compromises the quality of the education provided to future nurses.
本研究分析了过去二十年中，由于巴西高等教育扩张，本科护理课程数量的增加情况。
一项基于记录的研究，涉及推动这一趋势的法律框架，以及一项定量研究，描述专业护理课程数量的增加。使用主题内容分析（定性）和描述性统计（定量）对数据进行分析。
监管文件中存在的政治 - 意识形态论点指出，高等教育是改变当前社会状况的一种可能性，但这一点在专业护理领域并未得到体现。护理课程的扩张呈现出无序状态，且集中在私立部门，这些课程的分布存在地域不平等。
似乎并未关注当地需求以及教育、研究和推广之间的联系，这损害了未来护士所接受教育的质量。
