The aim of the current study was to describe the experiences of nursing students working as monitors in the Educational Program for Health Work at the UFAL School of Nursing in 2009-2010, conducting health education activities with pregnant women in the prenatal care waiting room. The activities were held regularly at the Health Unit while the women were waiting for medical and nursing prenatal care. Various relevant themes were addressed with creative and participatory health education methods. Through these activities, the students learned about the harsh reality of these women and the role of nursing in public health, implementing more effective care through participatory education, in which users, families, and health professionals work together to protect and promote health.
