CORREA, Adriana Katia et al. FIRST-YEAR STUDENT PROFILE IN THE “BACHELOR’S DEGREE WITH A TEACHING CREDENTIAL IN NURSING” PROGRAM AT A BRAZILIAN PUBLIC UNIVERSITY. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2018, vol.34, e185913.  Epub 20-Set-2018. ISSN 1982-6621.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0102-4698185913.

This study is conducted within the context of increased admissions at public universities. The study’s objective is to describe and analyze, through exploratory/descriptive research, the profile of first-year students from 2006 to 2015 of the “Bachelor’s Degree with a Teaching Credential in Nursing” program at the University of São Paulo, Ribeirão Preto College of Nursing. A questionnaire was applied as the means of data collection, which obtained personal identification data as well as professional, educational, and cultural data. Participants were first-year students in the aforementioned program, from the program’s founding class of students in 2006 through the entering class of 2015. From the data analysis, we observed substantial changes in the first-year student profile, especially with regard to age, previous education, and employment status. Knowing these changes is important for implementation of the political-pedagogical proposal of the program.
