This is a qualitative research, featured as a case study. The supervised training was implemented in the nursing program in the second semester of 2010. The researchers are students of the last semester of graduation and professors of the first group of this supervised training. The data was collected through semi-structured questionnaires. The data collected through open-ended questions consists in statistical analysis and the closed-ended questions were analyzed and interpreted by the method of content analysis. To summarize, the development of skills goes beyond the repetitive actions. Its development requires a thorough knowledge of concepts, methods and objectives which we aim to achieve / A presente pesquisa objetivou analisar o papel do Estágio Curricular Supervisionado (ECS) no desenvolvimento das competências do profissional enfermeiro conforme as Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais. O estudo buscou refletir acerca do desenvolvimento das competências na visão dos alunos e dos docentes envolvidos com o processo de estágio, por meio de ações desenvolvidas no dia a dia de estágio Trata-se de pesquisa quanti qualitativa, caracterizada como estudo de caso. O Estágio Curricular Supervisionado foi implantado no curso de enfermagem no segundo semestre de 2010. Foram sujeitos da pesquisa: alunos do último semestre da graduação e docentes desta primeira turma de ECS. A coleta de dados se deu por meio da aplicação de questionários semiestruturados. Os dados obtidos por meio de perguntas fechadas passaram por análise estatística e os obtidos por meio de perguntas abertas foram analisados e interpretados através do método de análise de conteúdos. Concluímos que o desenvolvimento das competências profissionais vai além da realização repetitiva de determinadas ações. Seu desenvolvimento requer um conhecimento aprofundado de concepções, métodos e objetivos que se almeja alcançar.
