Since its inception humanity is bound to see one of the greatest enigmas of human existence: death. In the context of professional nursing that issue becomes more relevant and challenging, as they quite often experience situations of death and / or its imminence in the workplace. This study aims to evaluate some of the different feelings experienced by the nurse before the process dies. This is an exploratory study with quanti-qualitative approach, developed at the Regional Hospital of Cajazeiras - Paraíba (HRC). Data were collected between March-April 2009, in the sectors: the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and Emergency Wards, with a sample of 10 nurses. It was evident the need to insert the problematic death in socio-psychological disciplines and even techniques of nursing, so that professionals can confront the issue with calmness and balance, with all possible technical support while part of humanity Humanism and the profession.
