Abstract
Objectives: Characterize the Nursing Specialization Courses – Residency Mode in Ophir Loyola Hospital and analyze the implications of the expansions of these courses to the nurses and to the Hospital. Method: Historic-social Research. The data sources are based on oral testimonies of involved agents with the process of implementation and expansion of the courses and written documents. The theoretical support counted with the concepts of cultural, social and symbolic capital, from the habitus of the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu. Results: it was evidenced that the expansions of the courses allowed to the nurse an update of his/her professional habitus, with the incorporation of some specific knowledge and of a higher complexity. Conclusion: despite the political, social and structural difficulties, the investment made by the nurses contributed to elevate the quality of the health institutions that had professionals coming from the Nursing Residence Courses.
