The study had as objectives: the identification of the conceptual, methodological and pedagogical bases adopted in the teaching of Management in Nursing Schools in Brazil; the identification and characterization of managerial competences which have been developed in educational practices. The approach adopted was a quantitative-qualitative one, carried out in two moments: the first had as a scenario eight schools; the second had five, representing the five geo-political regions. Data was collected from the teaching guidelines, into consideration: objectives, hour load, duration, the moment of insertion, program content, pedagogical strategies and the form of evaluation. Results showed that, although there has been advancement in the conceptual bases, development of managerial competences is not made explicit in the teaching guidelines; moreover, the pedagogical proposals are traditional.
