Abstract
Objective: To describe the implementation of nursing care systematization in a general surgery unit. Experience report: This is an experience arising from the insertion of a nursing student in a general surgery unit during an extracurricular internship at a large university hospital in the interior of Rio Grande do Sul. The Nursing Process was operationalized in the clinical practice of perioperative nursing by the student, who developed assistance, administrative and educational activities with patients and family members in the pre and postoperative period and applied instruments and protocols that integrate the systematization in the institution. Final considerations: With the experience, it was possible to realize the importance of implementing the systematization in the development of clinical, managerial and educational activities inherent to the process of nursing care in the perioperative context. The insertion of the student in the context of clinical practice represents an opportunity to deepen and consolidate theoretical knowledge, improve technical-assistance skills and develop autonomy for professional practice.
