Abstract Studies show that in order to manage
nursing care, nurses use management methods
and strategies based on the classic administration
theory. This management style does not enable
nursing workers to create collective spaces, where
they can act as social subjects. Based on the prin-
ciple that nursing management needs, at the mo-
ment, to be seen and exercised under a new view,
the author aims at elaborating a reflection on this
practice, using the concepts of collective and social
subject that are fundamental to Collective Health.
Thus, the possibility of approaching this field con-
tributed to expand the author’s knowledge and
concerns regarding the theme as well as to better
understand the nursing theme as a collective of
social subjects in action. Therefore, it is important
to emphasize that the workers are human beings
with their own interests, needs and wishes, pro-
ducing social relations as they constantly interact
with other subjects and are able to build capaci-
ties to intervene in this reality. This organized
group has the main objective to provide an inte-
gral care to the population, performing actions in
an ethic, secure and humanized direction.
