Summary

Introduction

The concept of competence is broad, as it includes the set of knowledge, skills, and attitudes that allow the individual, inserted in a context, to efficiently perform the tasks that are their own or assigned to them. When considering the contextual relationship for competencies, for the purpose of this study, health institutions stand out, because the actions developed by professionals in these spaces of action and interaction corroborate the perspective of unreal assets, as they are related to the health-disease process and with people’s quality of life. In this context, dealing with skills means prioritizing the development of workers with a view to valuing the right of people to be cared for in the best possible way, respecting ethical, moral, legal, technical and scientific principles. The Regional Nursing Council of the State of São Paulo (COREN-SP) listed a set of essential skills for nurses[4]
