INTRODUCTION
The experience reported has been developed in the University Hospital of Santa
Maria (HUSM) through the Center for Teaching and Research (NEPES) which has an
Institutional Program which offers scholarships to students in the area of health for a
contribution to the training by offering the opportunity to carry out extracurricular activity
remunerated in various sectors. In this sense, the students of the University of Santa Maria
(UFSM) and other accredited institutions engage in activities, which they are responsible
under the supervision of a responsible to sector where will carry the scholarships.
Specifically nursing, the supervision is a nurse of, considering the ethical and legal
rights in order to fulfill the responsibility and humanism to the patients. Being a professional
nurse who holds a theoretical and practical, their academic learning process must pass
necessarily, by theoretical and practical skills (knowing how) necessary for their formation,
which occurs in the fields of stages¹.
So the scholarship assistance allows you to emphasize the cohesion between the
teaching and practice, since the academic appropriates the knowledge of the demands on
existing building a professional identity, feels autonomous and responsible for nursing care.
2.
OBJECTIVE
It has as aimed reporting an experience of the experience like Scholarship Assistance
in a unit medical clinic at a university hospital, from the perspective of an academic nursing.
3.
METHODOLOGY
This is an experience report based on the perception of an academic nursing program
at the Federal University of Santa Maria, which for a period of nine months, from June 2011
to March 2012, experienced the condition of Scholarship Assistance. During this period was
used as a tool to record remarkable experiences daily field and monthly activities, amounted
altogether eighty-four of hours as the scale. The dynamics of work occurs based on the
demand of the unit, there are activities restricted to nurses as well as, technical assistance to
nursing. The Unit of Medical mentioned corresponds to the fifth floor of University Hospital of
Santa Maria (HUSM), which has twenty-four beds, for both sexes, in the specialties of
internal medicine, neurology, pulmonology, hematology-oncology, gastrologia, infectious
diseases and cardiology.
The choice of this unit adult, to experience the Scholarship Assistance as an
alternative to complement and extension activities of the academy, took place from the
theoretical and practical during the fourth semester of nursing degree, the approach with
different specialties found in that Unit aroused the interest to learn more about each of them
a scholarship through the experience of care in one location.

RESULTS
The performance in the practical field, as a Scholarship Assistance, enabled better
prepared not only to respect the technical expertise but also the individual preparation,
considering the revision of values of life and expectations regarding the care provided. The
Unit of clinical medic, given the diversity of medical specialties has, makes the possibility of
learning based on practical even greater, since many pathologies and situations involving
inpatient allow the expansion of academic view.
The student's direct confrontation with the practice of nursing, from a multidimension
vision care, promotes academic and professional maturity². In this sense, you can create a
professional identity based on practical experience of scientific and starting also from
personal experiences.
The reality faced with numerous situations before unknown, that are not restricted
only to the patient, but at the same context, considering his family and psychosocial situation
raises reflections on professional practice and makes a call almost immediately to know
order to pursue a humanized care, and so opt for the professional who want to be. Facing
this, the act of caring in nursing involves the interaction of nurses with the client, which
requires self-knowledge and knowledge that involving the touch sensitivity, the look, feel and
know capturing the emotions of those who are caring for care³.
It is noticed that the quality of care offered is closely linked to the sensitivity of those
who do, in this case, the nursing student, because beyond their executives of the work being
developed, the emotional side several times to assist in inner strength, based on his personal
experiences, their emotions, fears, anxiety, fears and also the ability to deal with the words,
as to the holistic care of the dialogue is essential.
So, it is also important to be open to learning, so that sometimes the students are
faced with situations not yet experienced, or which have not yet feel prepared, both in
technical aspects, how to handle situations like death. These situations enrich the practice
once that allow a closer approximation of the nurse activities and complement the academic
preparation, since many the times the period or part of practical classes do not contemplate
such situations with. As the have a greater mastery of techniques and skills of nursing, we
begin to discover the learning needs further loss and means to solve them.
Some strategies were adopted to enhance the academic experience and learning
opportunities, develop action plans based on a survey of demands, approaching more
specialized procedures that does not had contact, make dressing more specific to the
systematization of care daily nursing, as well as having a technical look sensitive,
encouraging a sense of autonomy. The process of autonomy presupposes that the nurse
and the nursing staff may interfere with the process of setting priorities for assistance. The
autonomy is based on the direction of the will of the individual to action, from social and
cultural influences 4.
An important dimension evident in this scenario refers to the responsibility and
commitment on the actions of service provided. The activities developed as a fellow
academic influence in shaping the future as nurses to promote the understanding of the role
of these professionals, their duties and responsibilities and skills needed to develop as a
professional, conscientious and able to provide health care.
5.
FINAL CONSIDERATIONS
The period of the experience as Scholarship Assistance in the Unit of Clinic Medical
revealed possible contributions and implications that this experience can bring to the training.
In view of the academic nurse who experienced it, this opportunity is essential to
complement the activities of graduation. The activities allowed the necessary skills for the
nursing care became clearer, and every day's experience, developed the safest and most
appropriate.
Was possible see more clearly the role of nurses in the health team. The approach to
the activities of nurses were meeting the expectations regarding the academic profession,
allowing part of routine work that adds in all aspects, resulting in personal satisfaction, safety
practices, breadth of vision, discovery skills and sensitivity other.
It is noteworthy that the challenges are constant over the life of academic and
overcome each stage of the learning process requires discipline combined with studies to
play a quality nursing care. Finally, we emphasize that, although limited in view of the
generality, it is hoped that this experience report can collaborate in building strategies for
strengthening education and training of nurses.
