Objectives: to describe nurses’ attitudes to the nursing process (NP) at a public hospital. Method: in this descriptive study, 35 nurses participated and four instruments were used to characterize the participants, their perceptions of the NP, and their knowledge of and contact with the NP. Data were collected in the first half of 2016, and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: the adjective least chosen by the nurses was the dual term “routine-creative”, while the most chosen was “negative-positive”. The nurses were also found to have little contact with the NP after graduating, but considered their knowledge to be good. Conclusion: the nurses’ contact with the NP needs to be expanded so that clinical practice can be improved.
