Abstract

Introduction: since the 2007/08 school year, work has been conducted to find coordination areas between two subject topics of the 3rd year of the University of Huelva’s Nursing Degree that facilitate the curriculum’s integrated knowledge.  
Methodology: a qualitative approach to reality has been performed by means of identification and consensus (brainstorming: discussion group) and prioritization (comparison by pairs) techniques. A series of measures have been implemented in the 2008/09 school year, and assessed at the end of that same school year by students by answering a written and semi-structured questionnaire. Finally, a content analysis has been performed and the information has been triangulated to guarantee the validity of results.   
Conclusions: five coordination areas were identified, for which four short term measures were established and implemented in the 2008/09 school year. The experience has been positively valued by 100% of participating students. Amongst other improvement proposals, students suggest increasing the time available for the performance of field work, expanding study topics and facilitating information to the associated clinical teaching staff.
