This study presents and analyses from the perspective of the students participating, an innovative experience tied to a methodology of collaborative learning in the training of graduate professional nurses. Grounded in a constructivist and communicative perspective, this experience has provided the structure through which, over six months, the student has developed the dissertation carried out to complete their studies. The research method has been a case study, using reflective diaries as the technique to generate information. The analysis indicates the teaching strategy has been received positively by participants, both from the point of view of the preparation of research work and the satisfaction generated, despite the fact that, at some stage of the process, it has been experienced with significant levels of uncertainty. The multidisciplinary learning built between participants has been identified as the strength of the methodology. It has been detected the need to review and improve some aspects, particularly those related to the acquisition of cooperative learning skills.
