Vivências de uma estudante de enfermagem em um estágio na atenção básica

Abstract

Nurses play an essential role in health promotion, prevention and care, facing daily challenges that include technical, reflective and humanistic skills. The compulsory curricular internship is a fundamental stage in the training process, as it provides practical knowledge that broadens the understanding of the different areas in which professionals work and allows them to develop essential skills for a trained and humanized practice. This work, characterized as an experience report, describes the experiences and challenges faced during the compulsory curricular internship carried out in three different settings: a Basic Family Health Unit, an Obstetric Centre and a Municipal Early Childhood Education School. The activities included taking part in health education projects for pregnant women at the Basic Family Health Unit, assisting with obstetric procedures at the Obstetric Center and carrying out first aid training at the Municipal Early Childhood Education School. These experiences show the diversity and relevance of nurses' work, which transcends care and plays an essential role as a health promoter in the community. The internship experience was essential for professional training, providing a practical and comprehensive understanding of the challenges faced and the skills allowed in the health field.
