Current descriptive, exploratory and qualitative study was conducted with 72 managing nurses of four government-run university hospitals in the state of Parana, Brazil. Data were collected by a recorded interview based on the statement: “Speak on the actions that should be implemented in the process of the establishment of patient’s safety strategies in hospitals”. Answers were submitted to analysis of content, theme mode, and the following categories emerged: “Establishment of a safety nucleus integrated to the quality management”, “Development of teaching and research strategies for the promotion of patient’s safety” and “Systemic organizational activities for the strategies of patient’s safety”. It may be concluded that the main suggestions of nurses were: integration of the patient’s safety nucleus to quality management; continuous capacitation of all professionals; joint venture with universities and whole-hearted support by the managers.
