Abstract

This investigation aimed to analyze the National Curricular Guidelines- NCG on the formation of nursing course professionals from the perspective of professors, students, professional, egress students and entities. This research was guided by such specific objectives: to contextualize the historical path of the nursing courses and their expansion post- Law of Directives and Bases, also the predominant orientations sentenced on NCG of the nursing field and the debates with the society about the formation of a nurse; to analyze the predominant emphasis for the formation of the nursing students specifically from Mato Grosso do Sul state from the legislation and pedagogical proposals of the chosen educational institutions as empiric field and; to describe the expectations of the subjects involved with the curricular guideline with relation to the graduation formation in nursing school from the perspective of both professors, students (including the egress ones), nursing professional and entities. Thus, we questioned: Do the National Curricular Guidelines of the Nursing Courses of the Mato Grosso do Sul state respond to the expectation of all the involved in the process? To better comprehend this question we listened the involved people also including the ones from COFEN and ABEN entities. This is about a qualitative research that proceeded to a bibliographic review for documental analysis, field research via questionnaires and interviews and finally via content analysis. The results evidenced that the two nursing courses tried to fit to the orientations required by NCG for nursing courses presented by Graduation on Nursing dated from 2001. The research pointed that most part of the actors believe that the curriculum is in accordance with what is preconized by the guidelines, although they do not correspond to their expectations. The Curricular Supervised Practice is the topic that satisfies the least the interviewed.
