This activity was carried out in 2011 in the framework of the National Program for Initiation to the University Environment for secondary school pupils, in Portugal, promoted by the University of Porto, in partnership with the Porto Nursing College - Portugal. The students were challenged to try a set of nursing procedures and to work in a nursing concept. For one week the students experienced the atmosphere of the School of Nursing, participated in theory classes, and theory-practice and practice classes in a laboratory context, so as to construct and present their perspective on what it is to be a nurse. The experience was shown to be positive, according to the participants, contributing to the formation of a critical-reflexive idea regarding the undergraduate Nursing course, helping them to clarify their perceptions and define their vocational orientation, as well as to optimize the co-existence with the higher education students, which was shown to be an opportunity to mature.
