Abstract
ABSTRACT: There is a need to evaluate the licensed practical nurse (LPN) programs to understand how this educational background is related to professional performance. The objective was to track the alumni profile of an LPN school; identify how they evaluate the teaching-learning process experienced in the course; and evaluate, from the alumni perspective, the training experienced in relation to their professional performance. This is a descriptive exploratory study, with quantitative data distributed according to absolute and relative frequency and qualitative subjected to content analysis. In total, 128 alumni participated, 92.97% were women; 34.37% were married; 77.34% were under the age of 40; 64.07% got a job within six months after completing the course; 40.63% were employed in the private service; most of the disciplines were considered sufficient for professional practice, with percentages higher than 80%. The topics were systematized: technical training is a passport to enter the world of work; from technical training to comprehensive human training; the role of teachers in training and the things that could be different in the technical nursing course. The training, from alumni perspectives, was sufficient and decisive in their lives for insertion and permanence in work, showing the importance of public spaces for technical training in nursing.
