In late September of 2016, Nurses of entire world, mainly Latin America and Brazil, lost a very precious person with the passing of Prof. Dr.Roseni Rosângela de Sena.
She was intelligent, intellectual, and humane with feelings of solidarity and fought for the causes of society. She was gifted with a discerning mind and a clear-sighted spirit; she knew how to explore new paths and how to lead us to analyze fundamental questions about our society and its healthcare policies and practices.
For those who interacted with her in the School of Nursing at the University of São Paulo, where she conducted her doctorate studies, she left an example of fight for the causes of the Brazilian Unified Health System. Furthermore, she left her diligent work to demonstrate the competences and to promote the emancipation of the nursing practice.
Despite our great sadness from her departure after years of suffering, we are consoled that she will be able to finally rest. Moreover, we can still learn from her ideas, reflections and teachings, which will prosper wherever her disciples are: in Brazil, Latin America or spread all over the world.
We would like to honor Doctor Roseni Rosângela de Sena, Emeritus Professor from the School of Nursing at the Federal University of Minas Gerais, a former student in the Nursing doctorate program of our Institution, and our colleague in so many struggles. Mission accomplished, rest in peace!
São Paulo, October 2016.
