For ABEn, it is essential to consider the demands for training in line with the population's health needs, advances in professional nursing practice, the commitment to consolidating the Unified Health System (SUS - Sistema Único de Saude) and developing its competence as an organizer of the training of healthcare professionals in compliance with constitutional references. The debate and formulation of DCN/Nur, based on the draft sent by ABEn, advance and gain power and social legitimacy in the collective construction carried out within the scope of CNS in 2017, through its Intersectoral Committee on Human Resources and Labor Relations (CIRHRT - Comissdo Intersetorialde Recursos Humanos e Relaçöes de Trabalho), which resulted in CNS Resolution 573 of January 31,2018, which approved CNS Opinion 28/2018(,). From the point of view of education, the proposal presented hurts the meaning of education as a process of individual and social transformation, conveys the reductionist conception that training a professional is simply offering a course, a collection of content, without rooting in the world of work, in reality and in the larger commitments to society. [...]the proposal presented by CES/CNE weakens the training of new generations of nursing workers, with a strong impact on the quality of the healthcare model and on SUS as a universal access system.
