NURSING SPECIALIZATION IN THE RESIDENCE MODELS: A QUALITATIVE STUDY ON THE EXPERIENCE OF GRADUATES (Atena Editora), 2023
Nursing residencies are a Postgraduate modality, in the form of Specialization, in the form of In-Service Training, for Nurses, in the Residency Models, which provides a scholarship and sets the workload of 60 week hours. The present study aims to describe the experience lived in the personal and professional trajectory from the perspective of the graduates of the postgraduate course in Nursing in the form of Residency, in the area of concentration in Clinical and Surgical, of ‘’Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro’’, who completed the course in the period between 2020 and 2022. This is an exploratory research with a qualitative approach. Which had as participants the nurses, residents, from the last 3 groups and the interviews were carried out in person, through a semi-structured instrument (questionnaire), with the interviewee. The research followed the ethical precepts established by CNS resolutions number: 466 and number: 510, and was approved with opinion number: 5,534,194. For data analysis, Bardin's content analysis technique was used. The sociodemographic results of the interviewees were: mostly female (83.3%), single marital status (66.7%) and less than 5 years since graduation (75%). After exploring the material, two categories were selected: 1st) Professional Career - subdivided into three subcategories, Skills and Competences, Education and Training; and, 2nd) Personal Trajectory, with three other subcategories, Experiences, Interpersonal Relationships and Social Condition. We concluded that there are dualities between feeling satisfied with the completion of the course and feeling frustrated with some theoretical contents, which form the basis for professional practices, with the personal relationship with the team in which they are inserted, among others. However, it was unanimous among the graduates that doing residency was a unique opportunity in their lives and for the development of most of the professional skills required of nurses, but further studies on the subject are needed.

Polish medical students’ perceptions of the nursing profession: a cross-sectional study
Scandinavian Journal of Caring Sciences, 2009
This study explored perceptions of the nursing profession held by medical students in Poland. Specifically, this study aimed to: (i) elicit medical students’ opinions about the nursing profession; (ii) identify what skills and abilities they perceive as important for nurses and (iii) ascertain what nursing functions are considered a major component of the nurse’s job. A cross-sectional study, based on the social construct of role theory, was conducted in medical universities from 2005 to 2006 in three cities situated in different regions of Poland: Białystok, Bydgoszcz and Kraków. A total of 900 medical students, 300 students in each region, in medical school years 1, 3 and 6 completed the Professional Nursing Image Survey. The most favourable nurse characteristics were: ‘professional reliability’, ‘demonstration of good technical skills’ and the personal characteristics of friendliness and courteousness. Medication administration, recording vital signs and administering intravenous therapy were most frequently identified as a major part of the nurses’ role. In conclusion, the opinions of Polish medical students suggest that nursing therapeutic activities trump independent nursing practice activities.
