RESUMO
The aim of this paper is to present the course of the transformation of the Nursing high school into the College of Nursing and its accession to the School of Medicine in Zagreb. The task of the paper is to present the organisation of schooling for the first generation of nursing students. The reconstruction of the data was based on the archival material stored in the files of the School of Nursing Mlinarska in Zagreb and the Society for Nursing History of the Croatian Nurses Association (CNA). Documents and photographs kept in private collections were used as well as already published literature related to the topic. For the purposes of oral history collection, a semi-structured questionnaire created in 2013 by the Society for Nursing History was used. The first program of the College of Nursing was launched at the initiative of Dr Andrija Stampar in the academic year 1953/1954. There were 17 students enrolled, 11 of whom graduated on time. The study program was comparable to the current world trends in nursing education. The analysis of the teaching staff reveals that the teachers were nurses with extensive experience and recognised university lecturers. The introduction of a higher education nursing program, comparable to the international nursing programs, speaks to the nurses' expectations and status. Compared to today's programs, it was very modern.

The founding of the School for Nursing in Zagreb in 1921 marked the beginning of the profes-sionalization of nursing in Croatia. Nurses founded an association and started a professional newsletter. The Sestrinski vjesnik (Nursing Journal) was preceded by the Sestrinska rijec (Nursing Word). The journal articles were analyzed regarding the permanent and occasional sections to which they belonged or regarding the topics they covered. The regular columns were: Nurses write to us, From the Association and From the editorial board, Changes in the service of the nurses of the General Directorate of Health, We read, Grains, Home visits, and the occasional column was What others write. Other contributions are grouped according to the following topics: The position of nurses in the country, Nursing, Nursing as a promoter of social medicine and work in institutions, Nursing work in the countryside, Protection of women (mothers) and children, Diseases and injuries, and Stories from nursing practice. The authors of most of the articles were nurses, while in the thematic section, Diseases and injuries, the authors were doctors. The journal had several functions: informative, educational, and promotion of professional solidarity. Together with minutes of the Association of Graduate Nurses from 1940 to 1945, it makes exceptionally valuable material for analysis of the nursing work of that time.
RESUMO
The aim of this research was to investigate if there are differences in experiencing negative behaviour in nurses and medical assistants of different sociodemographic status. 1354 nurses and medical assistants participated in this research. For the purpose of the research a questionnaire was made, the first part of which consisted of questions referring to sociodemographic variables, whereas the second part consisted of claims describing negative behaviours. The results of the research imply that nurses and medical assistants indicate that the most frequent forms of negative behaviour are: disparage, yelling, insulting, ignoring one's opinion and attitudes, making some members of the team privileged, commenting one's personal life, not securing replacement for absent workers and negative attitude towards their work. Nurses more frequently than their colleagues experienced the ignoring of their opinion and attitudes. Marital status had influence on the experiencing of one aspect (commenting one's personal life). The examinees aged 31-50 years, and with the work duration of 11-30 years, more frequently experienced yelling, insulting, commenting one's personal life, and also making some members of a team in their work environment privileged.
