As Empowering us more and more of practices and knowledge, sharing experiences that we have experienced and that have allowed for systematic learning, strengthening our profession as science and always seeking new discoveries, in a world where relational complexity does not allow complication.

Knowledge provides us with answers to the population that seeks them, be it technical, practical, scientific, political and Nursing magazine is here to play this role, so that we can grow as professionals scientifically based on knowledge and spread to others our Realities and experiences. In its last issue, the journal presented an article that reinforces the idea that "professional training should be adapted to the evolution of knowledge and identification of new biological risks, including available data on potential health risks. "But will that change the news in the media? No, honestly. However, those affected by these "novelties" may have survival and/or hope and/or comfort, as a consequence of how the nursing prepares to care.
