In 2017 it was 100 years since the creation of the first school for the training of professional nurses in Ecuador, that same year this school presented a proposal for curricular redesign, which was approved and is in force and being applied. To identify differences and similarities between the program applied for training in 1917 and the current program, a comparative analysis of the academic and regulatory aspects of both programs was carried out. For the construction of the findings, official documents from the historical archive of the school and the country were reviewed, and to support the comparative descriptive analysis, literature available in regional and international databases was reviewed, obtaining 9 articles published in Spanish and 4 in Spanish. English language. The subordination of the profession to the medical profession, the lack of content teaching for the development of critical thinking and reflective attitudes, and the application of traditional methodologies for degree evaluation are the elements that have been perpetuated until today.
