The data were collected from the SSP exercises done from 2001 to 2004. They were analyzed by categorizing the context similarity the themes: human, physical and material resources; nursing assistance management; administrative rules and procedures; information system; health education and relationship. This strategy favors the teaching-learning process, because it comes from the student's experiences in the hospital and it tells the nurses the areas that need investment in the solution of the problems.
