Abstract
Objective: To report the experience about the nursing student's view on the health assistance for the eldery patient discipline. Experience Report: The activity was carried out in two moments: I- Conversation with the nursing students and II- Conducting a survey. Six questions were asked to guide the conversation circle and allow researchers a situational diagnosis about the subject, and after each question, students were given time to address their knowledge and experiences with the process of training aimed at the health. Students realize the need to reorient the undergraduate nursing process to deal with the elderly; strategies are used in the classroom, such as clinical cases, nursing consultation and realistic simulation among students. Some concepts experienced by students regarding the autonomy, independence and ability to perform activities by the elderly were demystified. Final considerations: The result of the research identified that the training process focused on the demands of the elderly is a necessary strategy that deserves special attention from the National Curriculum Guidelines of the Bachelor of Nursing courses so that it can be done more profitably.
