Objective:
To verify the opinion of Nursing Technical Training students on the stages of construction of the End-of-Course Paper.
Method:
A cross-sectional study with a qualitative and quantitative approach. A total of 94 students participated from a Nursing Technical course of an institution in the State of São Paulo. A questionnaire was used with assertions, followed by a "Likert Scale" and open field for additional comments.
Results:
The students gave a positive evaluation of the stages involved in completing the paper, but negative responses regarding the time available and obligatory nature (38%). Nevertheless, they understood the essence of the task, in order to foster personal and professional growth; with perspectives to advance in other modalities of the course.
Conclusion:
It is important that course administrators and professors are prepared to support their students, aiming at an effective transformation for the way of thinking and practice in health care.
