This is a descriptive study with the objective of analyzing compliance with Resolution COFEN-293/2004, relative to the dimensionment of human resources in nursing in a Neonatal Intensive Therapy Unit in a Federal Public Teaching Hospital in Cuiabá, the capital of the state of Mato Grosso. Data was collected by means of a questionnaire containing closed questions, organized with resources of EPIData 3.02 and analyzed comparatively with the ideal suggested by the afore-mentioned resolution. It was observed that in the definition of the type of person, the service attends purely to the norms of the Ministry of Health and that neither the service and the Ministry of Health obey the directives of the Technical Rule, apart from breaking the directives included in the Exercising of the Nursing Profession Law, which indicates the low institutionality of the legal directives which regulate the profession in Brazil.
