This study tries to identify the perceptions of hospital nurses about the gaps and skills found during their training process that can help in the construction of a matrix of competence for working in a general hospital. This study is descriptive and exploratory, with a quantitative-qualitative approach, in which 30 hospital nurses participated. The data was collected through the application of a semi-structured interview and were analyzed using the Bardin technique. The participation of nurses brought answers so that gaps observed in their graduation, are reduced through future planning of teaching learning of a nursing undergraduate course, which will be addressed and developed in hospital practice. It is determined for the need to build a matrix of professional competence for nurses to work in a general hospital, strengthening the training of these future professionals.
