My interest in developing this study came from a previous work (Ricci, 1994) about scientific research meaning for Pharmacy and Nursing students. After its conclusion, it was necessary to know scientific research historical evolution pointing out the epoch and factors which contributed for its development. Aiming at reconstituting Nursing research historical evolution, trying to find the moment of its development in the profession, identify the reactions research introduction in the course and the assistance in opinions of docent nurses. For this, a semi-structured interview has been used. The population for this study was of nurses who lived the 60's and 70's. At first I obtained a list of nine names of nurses, but according to the theoretical reference, data became saturated along the interview, therefore the final sample was of only four nurses. The definition of generated themes from nurses speeches analysis was presented. The analysis allowed the discovery of two themes: STARTING ON RESEARCH and NEEDING REFRESH. The data revealed the difficulties that the docent nurses experienced by the time of research and postgraduation introductions. It has been observed that the arguments used by those nurses are the same used today by assistance nurses who want to investigate (Cassiani, 1994). However, the main difference lays on the fact that for the docent nurses there was a demand and for the assistance ones there is an internal need that not always is appraised and stimulated in service.
