Abstract

Nursing is a science acknowledged since mid 19th century, it has its own conceptual theoretic body which supports its principles and objectives, and it is in constant renovation through scientific research, personal procedures, and the use of new technologies targeted at the healthcare of people.
This analysis intends to describe a series of aspects which identify ­Nursing as a science, and the use of technology in its humanistic behavior in care provision. A bibliographic review was conducted, which included various textbooks and articles. Experts in this subject were consulted, in order to broaden the knowledge associated with the Nursing basics, through the analytic study of the bibliography reviewed. Nursing has developed scientific and technologically throughout the years, but this fact should not be detrimental to its deep humanistic aspect. There is a line of thought, gradually increasing, which is concerned with supporting what has been called a “technological humanism”, and there are many people who already share the hope of a type of humanism where persons tend to use techniques and technology always for the benefit of human ­beings, and at their service.
