Objective: to analyze the contradictions and ambiguities which permeate nurses' motivation for exercising leadership in management positions, in a university hospital. Method: this study has a qualitative approach and is exploratory and descriptive, and used a total of 33 semi-structured interviews which were submitted to thematic analysis. Results: the information converged on five categories: Motivation to take on a management position; The view of nursing managers on the exercising of leadership; The emblematic aspect of working with people; Leadership in nursing -mediatory and conciliatory; Time: a dilemma between managing and caring. Conclusion: leading people can be both a great encouragement, and an impeding aspect, bearing in mind the nuances of teamwork and the complexity of the context in which this process is constructed. In addition to this, conciliatory and mediatory attitudes are shown to be fundamental for a healthy and productive organizational atmosphere; however, the lack of time was indicated as a dilemma between managing and caring. the preservation of anonymity, and the right of free participation was assured, without this being able to lead to embarrassment or any prejudice to the participants.

Objective: Learn the perceptions of nursing professionals of a university hospital regarding the interactive process with nursing management practicum students. Methods: A qualitative, exploratory, descriptive study was conducted by means of 11 semi-structured interviews with nurses, nursing technicians and nursing aides in medical-surgical units. The information, collected between December 2013 and January 2014, was submitted to a thematic analysis and discussed according to Pichon-Rivière. Results: Results were grouped into three categories: Practicum students and the nursing team: interaction that can provide learning, mutual help and satisfaction; Despite the pre-task, work must go on; and Nursing team: the practicum facilitator. Conclusion: In the beginning, their coexistence was full of basic anxieties, but while elaborating these feelings, the group was created and shifts into teamwork. In this logic, issues like patience, empathy, communication and coherence facilitate the interactive process, and are essential for a critical (re)reading of the reality. Keywords: Group processes.

RESUMOObjetivo: Conhecer as percepções de enfermeiros e técnicos de enfermagem de um hospital universitário sobre o processo interativo com estagiários de administração em enfermagem. Método: Estudo qualitativo, exploratório, descritivo, mediante 11 entrevistas semiestruturadas com enfermeiros, técnicos e auxiliares de enfermagem de unidades clínico-cirúrgicas. As informações, coletadas entre dezembro de 2013 e janeiro de 2014, foram submetidas à análise temática e discutidas à luz de Pichon-Rivière. Resultados: Agrupados em três categorias: Acadêmicos e equipe de enfermagem: interação que pode propiciar aprendizado, ajuda mútua e satisfação; Apesar da pré-tarefa, o trabalho tem que continuar; e, Equipe de enfermagem: a facilitadora do estágio. Conclusões: O início da convivência é repleto de ansiedades básicas, mas é no movimento de elaborá-las que o grupo se constitui e se transforma para o trabalho em equipe. Nessa lógica, quesitos como paciência, empatia, comunicação e coerência facilitam o processo interativo, além de serem fundamentais para a (re)leitura crítica da realidade.
