Abstract
OBJECTIVE
To recognize how educational technologies are not up-to-date and do not care about head and neck oncology.
METHODS
Qualitative, exploratory-descriptive research. Held with 12 nurses, at a cancer reference center in the south of the country, in July/2017. Through a semi-structured interview and data analyzed by Minayo Thematic Analysis.
RESULTS
Results of two categories: "The techniques of updating the nurse" and "The use of educational technologies in the nurses' daily life". In this context, a version of the present in the training of students stands out, since the data of secondary education are permanent, evidencing a small use of technological resources for this purpose.
CONCLUSION
It is suggested to integrate the use of technologies with lifelong education in order to become popular in professional practice.
