Nursing has not been recognized like a total profession, the theory is in process of being developed and being perfected. The research is the bridge that connects the theory and the practice within the search process of knowledge, this base contributes to have an own judgment and foundation of nursing. Is important that the nurses can demonstrate and describe their professional contribution to the health of the individuals, groups, communities and population in general, developing research centered mainly in the care of nursing, that contribute to the establishment of a body of own knowledge. The research of nursing in Mexico has been studied through the analysis of publications done in investigation magazines where it has been reported that until now to be individualistic. For the investigators to produce excellent practice, have an special interest in the research, since this one is an area that as much requires direct collaboration in activities of evaluation as of synthesis of investigations, since the discipline will not be able to get to be a profession like so, if the practice is not fortified.  For that reason the nursing research in the last decades has shown a well-known advance which has contributed satisfactorily in the professional process.
