Objectives:
to analyze the landscape of scientific publications regarding the historical process of nurses' qualification through stricto sensu graduate programs in Nursing on a global scale, in light of Eliot Freidson's Sociology of Professions.
Methods:
a scoping review encompassing the databases BVS, MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Web of Science. The descriptors used were "History of Nursing," "History and Graduate Education in Nursing," and their equivalents in English and Spanish, following the recommendations of the Joanna Briggs Institute and the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews guideline. The final sample included twenty articles.
Results:
stricto sensu graduate education in Nursing has been consolidated differently across countries, influenced by educational policies, international cooperation, and professional strengthening strategies.
Final Considerations:
the consolidation of graduate education in Nursing has shown global variations, reinforcing professional autonomy and the development of knowledge. This study contributes to the historical understanding of Nursing professionalization.
