This study aims to understand the dimensions of the care process, under the watchful eyes of nurses, within a hospital environment. The investigation is characterized as a qualitative study with a phenomenological approach. The research took place in a medium-sized general hospital, in a city located in the northern region of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The participants were eight assistant nurses; the instrument used for the collection of information was the semi-structured interview. For the analysis of the dissertation, Paul Ricoeur's hermeneutics were used. The dimensions of the care process unveiled the following themes and sub-themes: the world of care: organization, management and technical competence; the nursing process; the humanization of care: being with the cared one in his world; respecting the one cared for in his singularity, constructing a conversational relationship and (un)recognizing the humanized care; being with the caregiver in the cared for's world: the nursing caregiver's self, sharing of decision-making, sharing knowledge and building a relationship of care; the coming-to-be in the world of care. Upon understanding the dimensions of the caring process in nursing, the world of care experienced by the nurses in the institution analyzed was disclosed, characterized as being an environment with its own nuances, in which the caring process presented multi-facets. Encountering authentic care among the people that co-habited in the institution manifested itself through the comprehension of the human beings as unique beings, capable of sharing their experiences and learning in the daily realities of care.
