Vivências em uma liga acadêmica em enfermagem: um relato das experiências acadêmicas na urgência e emergência

Abstract

The qualification of nursing teams for urgent and emergency care is essential to ensure safe, humanized, and effective services, as recommended by the World Health Organization. In this context, academic leagues serve as spaces for integrating teaching, research, and community outreach, fostering technical-scientific development and the enhancement of professional competencies. This experience report aims to describe the participation of nursing students in the activities of the Academic League of Urgency and Emergency in Nursing (LUREEN) at the Federal University of Uberlândia (UFU), highlighting the contributions of the non-compulsory internship at the emergency department of the Clinical Hospital (HC-UFU). The adopted approach was qualitative, with a descriptive and observational design, encompassing weekly meetings, courses, practical training, realistic simulations, and supervised practice in the Emergency Room, a sector dedicated to the care of critically ill patients. Activities ranged from triage and medication administration to assisting in high-complexity procedures. Furthermore, the experience contributed to consolidating theoretical knowledge, strengthening autonomy, and improving professional demeanor when facing critical situations. It is concluded that participation in an academic league represents a privileged opportunity for complementary training, providing integration between theory and practice and positively contributing to the development of critical, reflective professionals who are technically prepared and socially committed to comprehensive and humanized care in urgent and emergency settings.
