Qualitative study with characteristics of research and action. The purpose was to consider the nurse teacher in the perspective of the complex thought. From this purpose, in May of 2009, a commission responsible for developing discussions about methodologies of teaching and learning was constituted. A project with sequential stages of intervention was elaborated. About 380 nursing students and 30 nursing teachers from Centro Universitário Franciscano participated of the study. The thematic analysis of the information, obtained through meetings, made it possible to delimit the category: necessity of developing leadership and didactic abilities to higher education. The teaching in higher education does not constitute a process directed to the teacher. Rather than this, requires the active and effective involvement of the student, as author and protagonist of their history.
