Objective: To (re)mean nursing care, through permanent education based on the Learning Incubator. Method: Research-action conducted from a process of permanent education in health, based on the Learning Incubator, between July and December 2018, with the participation of Nursing professionals. Among the demands suggested by nursing managers of a teaching hospital, the following themes were considered for the (re)significance of Nursing care: Vital signs, Body hygiene, Oral hygiene and Isolation precautions. Results: From the data analyzed, there were three thematic categories: Distinguishing the technical, routine and mechanized dimensions of care; Attributing meanings to Nursing care; (Re)thinking professional attitudes and postures. Final considerations: (Re)meaning nursing care implies the induction of critical-reflexive strategies. Permanent health education, based on the Learning Incubator, is a prospective artifice for the (re)thinking of professional attitudes and postures, crystallized by traditional reproductive and fragmented knowledge.
