The authors report a practical experience which took place with the students of the discipline Introduction to Nursing, about the use of music, drama, Tv news and bills to express their Nursing Conceptions. Through a commemorative practical activity of Nurses' Day, the authors tried to know student's representations concerning the practice and role of the nurse. Such an activity enabled us to reelaborate theoretical concepts worked in the classroom and constituted itself a space to think about the data suggested by the images produced by the sudents team. The multiple dimension of professional practice focused in sudents representations, provived ground to rethink the strategies of the teachig - learning process in the discipline.
