Sažetak

History of nursing in Slovakia is an issue lying at the edge of an interest in Slovak historiography. My contribution is devoted to the transformation of nursing and the development of the language of medicine in Slovakia from the early 20th century. Nursing was subjected to an interesting development in the 20th century and the changes of the language of medicine were connected with it. The first professional nurses were members of the Slovak women‘s associations; one of the most famous members was Janka Hrebendova, the first organizer of caring for the wounded on the battlefield and elena M. Soltesova, the league organizer. in 1919 she
founded the czechoslovak State University, in which the nursing lectures were given at the Medical Faculty. In 1929 the first nursing school in Slovakia was founded. nursing education expanded considerably after world war ii. The legislative framework was developed and a number of secondary medical schools were founded. nowadays in Slovakia there are several secondary schools and universities that offer nursing curriculum at all levels of study. This
paper highlights the interconnectedness of religious nursing environment with the nursing female emancipation movement in Slovakia in the first half of the 20th century although Slovakia was relatively conservative and catholic country.
