Nursing education and nurses' articulation with the working market are guided on the premise that the quality of nursing service is related to training workers to be reflexive subjects. The main object of the study was to understand nursing education based on the current political pedagogical projects (PPPs) of nursing courses and, more specifically, to verify with coordinators and / or former-coordinators of the referred nursing courses the conception, construction and evaluation of the PPPs and the inclusion of the reflective subject as a proposition when developing the PPPs. An analysis was performed on the PPP of nursing courses of the State (UECE) and Federal (UFC) Universities of Ceará, and interviews were performed with nine coordinators and / or former-coordinators of those courses. Data showed that the PPP is considered a guiding element of educational activities and that its construction results from collective but not permanent initiatives. There is much concern about the critical-reflexive character of nursing education, as well as the evaluation of the PPP.
