The school constitutes an important space where people can experience a educational process and the construction of a Political-Pedagogical Project of its course. This study aims at describing the Political-Pedagogical Project according to the Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais (National Curriculum Guide, in Portuguese) from an emancipatory perspective for the training of nurses. The survey was carried out by consulting Central Library of Universidade Federal da Paraíba, researching on Internet and through personal collection of researchers. The steps followed in the study were: selection of material, analysis of specific literature, working on dissertation, and finally, presentation of ongoing results Formação Emancipadora em Enfermagem. It was found out that the Political-Pedagogical Project of the Nursing course at UFPB did not have significant involvement of professors and students. One concludes that this process must be inclusive, democratic and reflexive, to have unity between theory and practice, to adopt an integrated curriculum based on the concept of social critic pedagogy, so as to build up the training of the student. Therefore, this study can be useful to a wide range in the field of health education at university, with self-reflection or motivation for researching further on Political-Pedagogical Project.
