Abstract

This article analyses the experiences which developed in a new discipline in the curriculum of the undergraduate Nursing course implanted in 2006: Nursing and Society. During the two semesters of 2006 and one of 2007, students from the first year of the undergraduate nursing course got together in weekly meetings plus three workshops per semester to discuss three questions: What is the meaning of life? What does it mean to become a health professional? Why did you choose Nursing? Life was seen as a web of relationships, emotions and experiences. The choice of the nursing profession by the students is a result of the perception of the role of the nurse, the facilities to enter work and the possibility of helping people. Finding new meanings in the process of training health professionals involves new content which looks at the relationships between Nursing, society and care.
