The objective of the study was to know the linkages and challenges between professional training and practice and the Curriculum Guidelines for Nursing Baccalaureate Degree Programs. It was a qualitative study, with 34 graduates in nursing, who answered an e-mailed questionnaire. Data analysis was based on Michael Foucault's discourse analysis. The ethical aspects were observed. Analysis showed three themes in graduates discourses - Unified Health System, generalist professional training and humanization. The study revealed an approximation of concepts and guidelines of the Curriculum Guidelines for Nursing Baccalaureate Degree Programs and of the Unified Health System with the reality of professional practice along with challenges in the training of professional nurses.

The process of administering medication is linked to an elevated rate of adverse events and has been the focus of institutional investments. This study aimed at uncovering the perception of nursing aides regarding medication-related adverse events. A qualitative research was carried out with ten nursing aides from a clinical and surgical inpatient unit in a university hospital in Porto Alegre,RS, Brazil. Results show that the factors most commonly involved in medication errors are work overload and incorrect patient/client identification, as well as other associated factors. It was concluded that there is a need for the development of actions that favor cultural change that guarantees patient safety in hospital institutions.

Trata-se de um estudo de abordagem qualitativa, com o qual se propõe analisar regimes de verdades que perpassam a profissão Enfermagem, manifestados por alunas(os) ingressantes no Curso de Graduação, 2004/2, 2005/1 e 2005/2. Como opção metodológica para a análise dos dados foi realizada a Análise de Discurso, utilizando-se referenciais de Michel Foucault. Nesse contexto de análise e discussão emergiram três grandes temáticas: atravessamentos de saberes de gênero na prática da Enfermagem; a Enfermagem como saber hierarquizado; o fazer como poder, no cotidiano acadêmico e profissional da Enfermagem. Evidenciaram-se concepções sociais que são atravessadas por saberes invisíveis que legitimam práticas de saúde e de enfermagem, tornando-as inquestionáveis.

. These brief historical fragments reveal the close relation of these professions with the medical area. These were developed as from medical needs or demands for specialties. In this social construction, the naturalization of occupations ranked under social practices in health (1) becomes clear. Every society possesses regimes of truthIntegrated in this social structure, this study analyzes the discourse of students entering nursing, physiotherapy and nutrition programs, because they represent a reality where regimes of truth are produced on these professions, and which are expressed in social policies, health institutions, the media and institutions.A study carried out with undergraduate students about professional prestige of 13 higher education professions hints that hierarchy is expressed in the judgment of each profession. In this study, the medical profession was identified as the one with the highest prestige, physiotherapy ranked sixth and nursing eighth, while nutrition was not included in the list of evaluated professions (6) . Another recent study appoints the media's influence on the formation of statements present in the image of professions like nursing, which require these professions to seek strategies to provide more information, visibility and to have a voice in the social scope (7) . Reflections regarding the results of these studies indicate the need to broaden the understanding of the scenario in which the choice of a career and the education of future health professionals take place.Rev Latino-am Enfermagem 2009 maio-junho; 17(3):396-402 www.eerp.usp.br/rlae Nursing, nutrition and physiotherapy students… Ojeda BS, Creutzberg M, Feoli AMP, Melo DS, Corbellini VL. METHODThis is a qualitative-descriptive study. All students who met the inclusion criteria: availability to participate in focus groups, entered university through the required written exam, were attending the first course semester, were invited to participate.Data collection was carried out through focus groups. The focus group technique has been increasingly used in several areas of research, especially in research using qualitative methods aiming at social investigation. This technique permits the researcher to know the opinion, thoughts, feelings and actions of a given group in relation to a social phenomenon (8) . The seven focus g r o u p s w i t h s e v e n t o 1 2 p a r t i c i p a n t s w e r e Data were analyzed through discourse analysis in Foucault's perspective (5) . The analysis proposes to describe statements, which might be expressed in different ways: in a phrase, a figure or in an act of language. Social conceptions on the chosen area were analyzed based on the participants' discourse, seeking to put in evidence which regimes of truth permeate concepts and practices in these areas.
