This presentation will explore the significant events that led to the founding of modern Mexican nursing in the early 20th century. It will begin with the Spanish conquest of Mexico in 1520 and the institutionalization of health care. The presentation concludes with the founding of the first formal school for Mexican nursing in 1907, just before the Mexican Revolution of 1910. Roles of religious orders, formally trained midwives, and the state will receive special focus.
