[Hospital clinical experience: meanings for Family Health resident nurses].

Abstract

This qualitative research in phenomenological design aimed at understanding the meaning of hospital clinical experience in the nurse's training in a Multiprofessional Family Health Residency. The study was developed in a teaching institution. Data collection was based on interviews and had as study population eight resident nurses. I investigated the residents' experience according to their speeches, by making the following guiding question: "Talk about your hospital experience, how does it show itself in your training as a resident"? One open category emerged from the subject' description: Causing to approach the hospital experience and the Primary Health Care. Among the meanings attributed to the hospital experience, there is the need and relevance as an integrant part of the curriculum vitae of the Multiprofessional Family Health Residency for the nurses.
