The aim was to investigate the view of professor’s team about the training of nurse-leaders. This research has a qualitative approach and is descriptive and exploratory: 9 students participated, from a public federal university. The information was obtained in April 2012 through semi-structured interviews, and analyzed by thematic analysis, from which two themes emerged: View of students on leadership and Strategies which help in the training of nurse-leaders.
