This descriptive study aimed at studying how 26 nurses graduated from Nursing Specialization Course, Residency Program in Intensive Care Unit (ICU), of São Paulo Federal University (UNIFESP), Brazil, were inserted in the labor market, and in other graduate programs, and the meaning of this course for their professional life.
