[Pedagogical Project for the Graduate Nursing Program at UFAL: adaptations to curricular guidelines].

This is an analysis of the adaptation of the Pedagogical Political Project of the Nursing Graduate Program at Alagoas Federal University (PPP/Enf/UFAL) to new Brazilian curriculum guidelines, evidencing convergence points and some points that need to be approached, taking into account that the present project was established prior to the existence of the current curricular guidelines. Our analysis shows that the main difficulties presented by the newly implemented curriculum lie in the ones inherent to the process of changing conceptions on the educational process in Nursing and in the work conditions imposed by the current situation of the Brazilian Public University System. It calls for a review on strategies and contents related to the basis of research and expansion in Nursing Sciences, as well as the search for alternatives to integration with domain areas from Humanistic and Health Sciences.

[Technical production and its interface with nursing].

This is a descriptive study which subject concerns the interfaces of technological production with nursing. Its objectives is to analyse the interface of technological production with nursing and to discuss that production on the following dimensions: instructional, instrumental and informatic. To develop this the summaries of the papers presented during the last three editions of the Congresso Brasileiro de Enfermagem--1998, 1999 and 2000 were used as a source of information. The inherent subjectivity of a study of summaries was considered a limitation, since it is possible that a miscomprehension between our understanding and the real idea of the author occur. This study showed that Nursing, even in an incipient manner, has been producing constitutive components of the technological production, on its daily work.
