Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the business characteristics of the nursing student. This is qualitative research
undertaken between September and October 2011 in a state university of the Brazilian Northeast, with 15 students; the
ethical precepts were observed. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews and was treated with thematic
analysis, resulting in four categories which delimit the business characteristics: seeking unexplored opportunities, guidance
for the future, need for self-realization and strategic articulation. The business characteristics express the desire of future
nurses to contribute to social development through their practices, investing in proactive stances and detecting differentiated
opportunities for caring, based on ways of acting which allow them to innovate in detecting the exercising of the profession.
