Abstract
Objective: To share the experience lived by resident nurses, in a pediatric clinic of a university hospital, during the implementation of the Nursing Care Systematization. Experience report: It was developed a descriptive study, with qualitative approach in the form of an experience report, conducted from July to August 2019, during the professional practice of nursing residents in the Multiprofessional Residency Program in Integrated Clinical Care, in a Pediatric Inpatient Unit. Through the experience, it was possible to understand the work process and to identify how nursing care was being performed with the pediatric patients and their families/caregivers. Management activities and assistance were carried out by residents, supervised by the preceptor, who encouraged them to develop reflective critical thinking and make decisions when problems emerged. Final considerations: The residents' experience in the Inpatient Pediatric Unit brought reflections and outlines about the nurse's work process, the specificity of assistance focused on the children and their families, which directly contributed to the quality of care and the preservation of pediatric patient safety.
