Introduction: Nurses give the meaning to their daily work and its comprehension permits the design of proposals oriented to promote quality, humanization and service management. The objective was to understand the meaning that nurses give to their daily work. Materials and Methods: qualitative study with ethnographic approach; groups interviews were conducted and a field day book was done. Results: Nurses must take ownership of the nurse department, which means to achieve an integral care and hold up the department. The weight of the department is to understand as the ability to hold up guilt, problems, interactions, indicators and protocols without enough time. Discussion: Health care creates motivation, which is a feeling capable to provoke, maintain and manage the behavior to a common objective; the work weight has forced the nurses to spend less time to the health care, which lead them to feel guilty, exhaustion and stress. Conclusions: The task of nursing means a burden when they feel that they must take care of tasks are not of her professional competence or that are imposed by limiting their autonomy. Holding up work weight, lead nurses to the demotivation.
