objectives are to characterize these nurses about gender, age, education, professional experience
time and to know the nurse’s motivation and perception about working in a project management tea.
The study is exploratory and descriptive, with a quantitative and qualitative approach through
applying a questionnaire sent to 26 nurses that work in two hospitals in São Paulo. In the qualitative
axis, content analysis was used, according to Bardin, and a statistician analyzed the quantitative axis
with descriptive analyzes of the variables. There is a 77% presence of women in the teams; most of
them are over 40 years old, with an average experience of assistance of 12 years. As a motivation,
nurses work in project management for having received an invitation and also for the opportunity to

consist of planning and executing the project itself, team management, and the applicability of their
care knowledge. The nurses have essential characteristics, since their graduation, that enables their
