[The selection process in a graduate course on psychiatric nursing: a discussion].
The goal of this study is to describe and discuss the student selection process in the last three years by analyzing the formation and range of professional practice of the candidates through a descriptive exploratory study. The analysis of the curriculum of candidates reveals a high proportion without a previous degree and/or experience in the area. Based on the analysis of data obtained, we emphasize the importance of adjusting the program to the profile of students that enter the field without previous knowledge or restricting the program for professionals that are looking for an in-depth knowledge of mental health.
