The text aims to reflect the experience of being a scholarship student in the discipline of nursing management in health services II, in the Undergraduate Program in Nursing at the University of Santa Cruz do Sul – UNISC. This discipline occurs in the seventh semester of the course, being held in a Basic Public Health Unit. Practice happens in groups of six to eight students and during the same period of time there are related themes which are developed in the classroom. This method helps professors and students, allowing them to observe and interact on the way of organizing and managing the Basic Health Unit, in order to be able to collaborate with the necessary improvements. We conclude that it contributes with the professional formation of the student scholarship and academic, guiding him/her to a more comprehensive look at management and decision making in developing health policy
