Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyse the contribution of the Extension Courses in the Intensive Care held at the Nursing School from USP, with the aim to: 1) Follow up nurses in their work at the ICU. 2) Evaluate the contribution offered by the course. The population was formed by 38 nurses, considering that 60,5% didn't work in the ICU anymore mainly because they assumed another function in the institution and had several private problems. Regarding the contribution offered by the course, the main evaluation was the acquirement of knowledge (91,7%). However, 74,2% of the nurses declared the course didn't contribute to the increase of their wage, what do not impair them from investing in their professional improvement.
