title: [Redesigning the nurse admission training process at the intensive care unit].
abstract: Considering that personnel professional development processes are indispensable at health institutions and disclosing the obstacles faced in the practice, the objective of this study was to redesign the admissions training (AT) process of ICU nurses from a private practice hospital in the city of São Paulo. Based on a qualitative approach, action research was used as a method strategy. For data collection, the focus group (11 nurses) technique was adopted which favored a dialogue with other nurses (18) via electronic media-based communication. Six meetings were held to analyze the AT status, which permitted to redesign the process and resulted in the definition of the concept, objectives, goals, ICU nurse and educator-nurse profiles, content, instrument, flowchart, strategies, duration and evaluation. Furthermore, the study promoted a discussion on AT intervening factors such as the human resources policy.
