Experience report: This is na experience report of supervised technical visits undertaken in the Practical Clinical Teaching in High Complexity subject taught in the 8th period of the undergraduate nursing course of a higher education institution located in the state of Rio de Janeiro. Final considerations: Technical visits can be understood as an essential tool in the undergraduate teaching-learning process. The use of this methodological resource should be encouraged soon after the beginning of the course as it contributes significantly to the academic formation of the student. The opportunity of holding these visits arouses in the students the possibility of aligning theoretical and practical knowledge, thus collaborating in the construction process of a critical-reflective professional, able to propose changes and outcomes to the problems experienced, as well as improvements in the quality of the assistance provided to the customer.
