description This study aimed to evaluate the implementation of the portfolio in a course of the Undergraduate Nursing Course after two consecutive years, and brings together reflections about the construction of a portfolio in professional training. Such an experience was based in the reports of the National Seminars of Guidelines for Nursing Education. The positive aspects of its use focus on the development of the student’s critical ability, for reflection on his or her professional practice; and on the ability to analyze problems and propose solutions. It is also an effective instrument in seeking new knowledge. Repetition of portfolios already presented by other students, finding the method strange, and difficulty in self-evaluation were all found. It is concluded that the time and the development in a single course were limiting factors for its success; the method has positive and negative aspects, like other evaluative strategies, and must be contextualized for use.
