Abstract

This paper aims to understand how supervisor-nurses of a big private hospital in Belo Horizonte build their professional identity. In order to do that, a descriptive analytical case study was carried out in which nine supervisor nurses were included. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and the analysis by means of the content analysis technique. The analysis focused on: the supervisor nurses’ perception concerning the new management procedure used at the hospital; supervisor-nurses’ routine at work; nursing education and professional practice; qualifications of an ideal nurse for the management position; and supervisor-nurses’ carrier expectations.  The results showed that the new management strategy used by the hospital was considered a significant space for the supervisor-nurses’ identity reconfiguration, especially because it demonstrates a disharmony between academic instruction and daily practice at work.
