ABSTRACT

Background: vocational guidance is considered as one of the most essential ways to promote a correct professional choice in the new generations.
Methods: a retrospective descriptive study was conducted at the Faculty of Nursing of the Medical University of Villa Clara, from 2005 to 2012, in order to describe the experiences of vocational training through science clubs in preschool and school institutions. Theoretical methods such as analysis-synthesis and inductive-deductive method were used; as well as empirical methods, such as documentary analysis and observation, and mathematical methods in order to deliver results in absolute and relative terms.
Results: there are positive experiences concerning the science clubs in vocational training, the approach to their topics through culture and Marti's thinking as a way to achieve motivation for this specialty from an early age, and the use of programs and teaching aids developed by their teachers and families. Theory and practice was linked by means of visits to nursing labs, museums of anatomy, medical offices and polyclinics. The numerical data showed that the retention rate of those enrolled in the science clubs in the different teaching levels was 100%, which shows the high level of acceptance among the students.
Conclusions: the vocational training activities conducted by the Faculty of Nursing through the science clubs have been a useful and effective experience for motivating children and adolescents to approach the nursing profession.
