This work is a general approach to the relief activities of the nurse at The Pediatric Intervention Unit. Its main goal is to propose to those nurses performing in hospital pediatric nursing a dialogue to the purpose of understanding how these activities are conducted in our country exchanging viewpoints about their previous experiences. As a reference, activities developed at the UIP-HCPA-RS are presented, eeping in mind the objectives of the Pediatric Unit, the rooming-in system and the multidisciplinar team. The conclusion reached is that trough such activities the nurse will be in a position to offer the admitted pediatric patient, as well as to his family, unceasing and whole assistance. Efforts, on the nurse's side, are recommended to establish specific objectives to the Pediatric Units, well defined criteria to nursing assistance and, above all, creative and intelligent operacionalization of time spent at their functions.
