This study aimed at outlining the history of the Nursing Curriculum of the State University of Londrina from its beginning in 1972 to the elaboration of the present Curriculum, which was implemented in January 2000. The study was based on a literature review and the results enabled us to outline the whole process of curricular changes in view of the the professors' disquiet and the demands from the work. By substantiating all the curricular changes, the study has contributed to a better understanding of the new educational proposal, which is based on the critical and social conception founded on the problem-based pedagogy applied in the current Integrated Nursing Curriculum of the State University of Londrina.
