The objective of this article is to analyze the influence of work conditions in Family Health Nursing activities and the renormalizations they produce. It is a qualitative study carried out in a municipality in southern Brazil, involving an intentional sample of ten registered nurses. Methodological triangulation was used with the data collected through documental research, observation, and self-facing interviews. The software Atlasti 5 and the foundations of historical dialectic materialism, was used to treat and analyze the data, as well as ergology. The results demonstrate that inadequate work conditions such as insufficient workforce and precariousness in work instruments contradict or impede reaching the objectives of promoting health and integrity, as prescribed by the Family Health norms. We conclude that given these conditions, nurses renormalize their activities based on the values of one's right to health, access to health, and integrality, and become overloaded in their nursing work.
