[The nurses' activities in the local health care system: individual or collective?]

This survey consists of a theoretical reflection on the nurse's doing-abouts in the Local Health System (SILOS), allowing the understanding (though temporary) whether the space she occupies at the "entrance door" of the health services has allowed the ideologic construction of her social action, as an individual or collective subject. Thus, we have sought theoretical guidance in the thoughts of Testa (1995) and pointed the SILOS as a social space of the Health System transformation. We have also discussed the relations experienced in the daily life of the institutional organization, trying to understand the production process of social subjects, focusing the nurse and this construction.
