The objective was to present the experiences and activities experienced by nursing students during supervised training in women's health in the actions of comprehensive care of climacteric women in a municipal park in an Amazon city. The actions were carried out through voluntary adherence of the women, who were then followed through the nursing consultation, guided by specific instruments, as well as health education actions and individual listening of each participant on the climacteric, its characteristics and management. The activities developed with this population were satisfactory for the public who accompanied and enjoyed the services provided. For the academics, it represented the opportunity to apply the scientific knowledge of nursing care in a differentiated health reality. Comprehensive care has proved to be a strategic point to reawaken the self-esteem of these women, so that they can perceive themselves as protagonists in their self-care, in order to act to guarantee their well-being and quality of life.
