It was conducted through semi-structured interviews with eight nurses from the intensive care unit of a hospital's philanthropic “Zona da Mata ” of Minas Gerais (Brazil) in the period of January to April 2012. Data were analyzed by triangulation between categories, reference and experience of the researcher. Results: it was found that with teamwork nurses recognize their own role and other professionals as well as have their work recognized and valued. Therefore, being next to patients helps on creating bonds and meeting patients’ needs adequately.
