Objective: To analyze the knowledge of nursing personnel recently admitted to the intensive care unit. Methods: Descriptive observational study. Results: 85.7% of the personnel surveyed agreed that the management of patients in the unit should be standardized, while 14.3% indicated that this was not necessary. Conclusion: A healthy work environment, good communication with the multidisciplinary team and working in favorable environments are some factors that reduce stress and the risk of producing an adverse event; there are instruments that assess the nursing workload and allow us to know the characteristics of the patients and the care needs of each one of them. In addition, it assesses nursing interventions related to patient severity and care activities.
