This research seeks to investigate into the multimodal component of Technical and Professional Nursing. Specifically, it is sought: a) to identify the main discourse genres which are used to train students from these areas; b) to distinguish the main multisemiotic artifacts that belong to those genres; c) to analyze the coherent relations between the verbal and graphic mode that are part of these genres using RST.To achieve these, an academic text corpus, used in the training process, was created and collected. Firstly, the results show predominance of the following genres: class presentations, educational worksheets and investigation articles. Secondly, the most predominant artifacts were "ilustrations" and "charts", along with the coherent relation of " elaboration". These data allow to claim that multisemiotic artifacts are highly dependent upon the discursive genres they belong to and they contribute coherently to the construction of the text, whereas coherent relations are regulated by sistematic patterns each discipline determines.
