The objective of this study was to validate the technical skills of nurses in order to provide subsidies for creation of nurse course curriculums for the Nursing School of Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil. To this end, we used the Developing a Curriculum method (DACUM), which sets up as a qualitative research technique, based on the creation of a focus group, and that allows identifying duties, skills, attitudes and knowledge of a particular job. This study was conducted in 2005, with 18 nurses from various specialties having the following inclusion criteria: Having 5 to 10 years of professional experience in nursing, being employed solely in a specific job and being considered efficient by other professionals. The results showed areas of nursing with a higher tendency of growth in the labor market, characterized the profile of nurses who work in the health services of Belo Horizonte, and identified the skills required of nurses in various specialized areas. This methodology allowed the development of a collective pedagogic project with the participation of teachers, students and nurses, integrating teaching, service and school.
