Professional evasion of nurses is a concern because there was an investment from State, family and from the individual himself and there is a lack of nurses at work field. We have collected, in an intentional sample, the opinion of nurses about the reasons that made them quit nursing, the nursing knowledge they use in their actual activity and their suggestions to avoid evasion. We have checked out according to the answers that nurse's evasion is based on a set of circumstances from strictly personal ones to formal education as well as others resulting from the social and political structure.
