This report falls under the curricular traineeship Report Unit, of the eighth Masters Course in Nursing professional in the area of specialisation in Surgical-Medical Nursing, Institute of Health Sciences of the Portuguese Catholic University, which has as main objective to portray and reflect the activities developed during the course of curricular traineeship unit that is divided into three modules: Module I-Emergency Service, Module II-Intensive Care/ Intermediate and Module III-Optional. The interneship is a fundamental time for the development of competences in the fields of know-know, know-how and know-be, allowing the bridge between theory and practice, the development of critical-reflective competences that helped me to evolve and grow as a professional. The acquisition of expertise becomes essential and it was in this sense that I continuously developed competences that made my professional exercise an exercise of excellence. I started my internships through Module III, with respect to the optional module in perioperative nursing. It took place in the Intermediate Care Unit of the Hospital Surgical Center of Funchal and in the Burns Unit of a hospital in the central Lisbon. During this clinical teaching development a study that consisted of a systematic review of the literature, with the objective of identifying interventions promoters of sleep and comfort of the patient in a critical situation; which has enabled a sharing of knowledge and implementation of specific interventions. Later I did the interneship concerning Module I, with regard to the emergency service, it took place in Central Hospital of Lisbon North, in which I developed a guide for reception, for visitors, concerning the functioning of the Observation Service and a poster containing information regarding the patients’ assessment and the time of wait.. In relation to Module II, relating to the interneship in Intensive Care/Intermediate I was able to obtain equivalence since I have been on this service since October 2005 in the Intensive Care Unit of the Hospital Central of Funchal/Dr Nélio Mendonça. During my training path to be a Specialist Nurse I have acquired specific skills that will meet the needs of a person and the health/disease processes to which the person is exposed to. This course assumes a broad understanding of human responses in specific situations and interventions of a high level of adaptation to the needs of the individual, potentiating the gains in the health área being essential to implement specialized nursing interventions that promote, stimulate and facilitate the support of projects related to the health of individuals and their quality of life.
