Objective:
To correlate the satisfaction of graduates with their training according to their professional characteristics and general competences.
Method:
Descriptive cross-sectional study with a sample of 192 Nursing graduates from a private higher education institution in the city of São Paulo. Data were collected between 2016 and 2017.
Results:
Graduates placed in the job market within one year (p=0.01) had nursing as their main source of income (p=0.011) and occupation (p=0.014); those who considered themselves professionally successful and those who would choose the profession again (p=<0.001), if they could choose, were more satisfied with their training. Satisfaction with training was linked to the competences acquired during graduates’ training, such as decision making (p=0.002), leadership (p=0.004) and continuing education (p=0.005).
Conclusion:
The study shows that most graduates consider their training satisfactory when analyzed with the study variables.

Objective:
to analyze the attitudes, knowledge and skills that make up the professional competencies of nurses working in indigenous territories.
Method:
this is an exploratory-descriptive study with a qualitative approach, conducted with nurses working in the Xingu Indigenous Park in 2016. Data were obtained in semi-structured interviews and treated according to the thematic-categorical analysis method.
Results:
the nurse’s performance in the Xingu Indigenous Park has a multifaceted character, being defined by the territory’s interculturality and specificities and by how the service is organized. Technical skills, concepts from anthropology and attitudes that facilitate a respectful dialogue with cultural difference are required for a professional to act in this context.
Final considerations:
the performance of health professionals in indigenous territories requires specificities associated with the acquisition of new knowledge, attitudes and skills geared to the intercultural dimension of the work developed.

Objective:

Method:
Exploratory, qualitative study. 43 nurses from five surgical units participated, and data collection was carried out between April and September 2017. The focus group technique was used and for data interpretation an inductive thematic analysis was performed. The competence matrix was built from the testimonies of the participants plus a search in the literature for concepts directed to each competence and description of the expected behaviors and / or attitudes.
Results:
For the Matrix, the following individual skills were identified: Planning; Communication, Relational Competence, Leadership, Decision Making and Ethics.
Final Considerations:
The construction of a Matrix should assist managers in recognizing the professional profile and assessing their performance, strengthening the achievement of professional and organizational objectives, as well as contributing to the quality and effectiveness of the care provided by nurses in these places.

Objective:
to understand the meanings attributed by the Family Health Strategy (FHS) nurses to the management competencies essential to the performance of their actions.
Method:
explanatory, qualitative study, whose methodological framework was based on Grounded Theory. A total of 12 Family Health Strategy nurses from a municipality in southern Brazil participated through semi-structured interviews, between December 2018 and February 2019.
Results:
the experience was understood by the phenomenon “Lapidating management competencies daily to play the role of a nurse in the context of the Family Health Strategy”. As action/interaction strategies, the following categories emerged: “Evidencing the management skills of Family Health Strategy nurses” and “Recognizing the need for strategies to work on specificities in the context of the Family Health Strategy”.
Final considerations:
according to the meanings attributed by nurses, there are several essential management skills for the work in the Family Health Strategy, but they are still little worked and developed in this context, mainly because it is a complex health care scenario.
