This study aimed to investigate the knowledge of nursing students\nabout cardiorespiratory arrest. It consisted in a qualitative research\nwith 29 nursing students of the Federal University of Campina Grande,\ncampus Cajazeiras, ParaÃ?Âba, Brazil. A semi-structured interview\nwas used for data collection, which took place in December 2014\nafter approval by the Ethics and Research Committee of the institution\nof education. The technique of Collective Subject Discourse\nwas used for data analysis. Unpreparedness and insecurity of academics\nwith respect to cardiorespiratory arrest were evident. The\nlack of practice makes them afraid and they point to the educational\ninstitution as responsible for not providing environments to better\nprepare them for stressful situations. Therefore, there is a need for\nstrengthening the academic training of future nurses by increasing\nthe opportunities for practice so that students get familiar with the\nreality they will face and, this way, this gap in the nursing training\nmay be reduced.
