Method: case report on the reflections on contents addressed in the discipline offered in the Graduate Program in Nursing in a federal public university.

Result: two themes were defined: the training of nursing undergraduate students and the development of knowledge in relation to the concepts of nursing theories; and care models and nurses’ critical reasoning about the applicability of nursing theories. Final Consideration: the reflections produced permeated the development and acquisition of knowledge and of representative meanings of healthcare practice from the assumptions and constructs of the theories.
