Objectives:
to reflect on the governmental normative acts issued for higher education during the COVID-19 pandemic and on the repercussions of these acts on the quality of nursing education in Brazil.
Methods:
this is a reflection on the repercussions for the quality of nursing education, based on the normative acts applied to higher education, enacted from March to December 2020, available on the Ministry of Education website and in the current literature on the subject anchored in the National Curriculum Guidelines for the Undergraduate Nursing Course.
Results:
educational legislation, in the context of the pandemic, distanced education from the world of work, as well as from the quality of training established in the guidelines.
Final Considerations:
remote teaching in nursing makes it difficult to train professionals with the capacity to effectively teach and learn in the real world of care and health promotion in the Unified Health System.

Objectives:
to summarize historical aspects related to perioperative nursing education in Brazil and to outline future perspectives.
Methods:
a descriptive-reflexive essay about the historical process of Brazilian perioperative teaching at undergraduate and graduate levels.
Results:
the reflection addresses the historical axes of perioperative nursing, teaching perioperative nursing, curriculum changes, graduate studies and relationship with the perioperative period and trends in perioperative nursing education. Curriculum changes reduced time available for teaching and learning, with a focus on the perioperative period, and diluted contents of surgical nursing in other subjects, which could cause irreversible losses for generalist nurses’ training.
Final Considerations:
when reviewing historical aspects of national nursing curricula, it was found that the nomenclature perioperative nursing was never used in the curriculum, however, the surgical area has always been contemplated in undergraduate and graduate studies. Future trends indicate the need to integrate themes and prepare professionals with perspectives focused on global health and technology.

Objective:
to understand the meanings of being a trans or transvestite woman in the care provided by Unified Health System health professionals.
Methods:
qualitative research, guided by Heidegger’s phenomenology, with 10 trans or transvestitewomen residing and using the Unified Health System in a municipality in Minas Gerais. Fieldwork was carried out by interviews.
Results:
trans or transvestitewomen reproduce the social patterns constructed and accepted by the female, with the search for hormonization being common, and, when it is difficult to obtain a prescription, they resort to self-medication. Social name use and acceptance by health professionals promote recognition. Trans or transvestitewomen experience prejudice on a daily basis, not only by professionals, but also because of the assumption of diagnoses by other users.
Final considerations:
transphobia promotes withdrawal from health services, due to fear, shame, knowledge about professionals’ unpreparedness, triggering illness, social exclusion and violence.
