In this study we analyze the Goldmark Report recommendations for the adjustment in the training of nurses in two areas: tuberculosis and nervous and mental diseases. The method used here was the historical research based on documentary analysis. The results showed that Nursing Schools and Courses at the time met the requirements more of its institutions, sponsors and trainers, rather than following the report’s guidelines to include in their curricula, materials specific for tuberculosis and mental diseases. We conclude that the Goldmark Report identified the resistance of nurses in dealing with this issue. However, recommendations were left behind that had an impact on these training courses in the 20th century.
