Background: The first 10 years of the 20th century in Portugal corresponded to the last decade of the monarchy. A period of political and social turmoil, across a great continental and overseas space, where after the creation of the first nursing schools, in the 1880s, signs of the slow process of professionalization of nursing are expectedly found. Objective: To analyze the references to nurses and nursing in the House of Lords and House of Commons, from 1900 to 1910. Methodology: Historical research in the logbooks of sessions, with the survey, analysis, and interpretation of sources. Results: Four thematic blocks were identified: naval nursing, military nursing, colonial health services, and naval nurses practice school; religion in healthcare; control of epidemics; the fund for the alienated, alienated criminals, the incisive speech by José de Almeida. Conclusion: Professionalized nursing was more advanced in the military sector than in the civil sector. Healthcare delivery to the alienated, control of epidemics, and religious inspire references to nurses in both Houses.
