Description
Summary:Descriptive study of quantitative approach aimed at getting to know the feelings experienced by nurses trained as nursing technicians during their transition of professional category. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews addressing the work done during the course of both training, as well as the changes perceived and interpreted by means of the technique of content and theme analysis. The testimonies show that the knowledge and previous experiences had a positive influence but produced little significant change in professional practice. Participants expressed feelings of incongruity between the educational values learned in school with the experiences faced at the workplace. Some of these professionals reproduce behaviors and actions of stereotyped bosses due to internalized models of good nurses and unrealistic expectations. The conclusion is that this transition is poorly defined, ritualized, without an innovative or creative character, corresponding sometimes to the institution's controlling goals and reproducing the mechanistic paradigm. doi: 10.5216/ree.v16i4.24129.
