title: [Participating in the construction of a teaching project for nursing].
abstract: The aim of the present paper is to report the authors' experience in the construction process of the teaching project for the Nursing Course at the Federal University of São Carlos. The study presents the course and the aspects related to the new proposal concerning the professional nurse profile, and the structure of the subjects distributed in modules are briefly reported. The collective construction and the difficulties regarding the curriculum reformulation process are placed in context. The integrated curriculum proposal should become effective in 2005, which will bring about the efforts of teachers in their search for the articulation of theory and practice without fragmentation. In order to succeed, the new teaching project will require efforts from teachers, students and the university administrative staff so that paths to overcome upcoming difficulties can be found.
