The purpose of this study was to describe types of approach and delineations of the dissertations produced in the Graduate Program in Nursing of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (PPGEnfUFRN) over the years, and characterize scientific publications produced by students and graduates, and to analyze the existing relations between these aspects. This is a descriptive-exploratory study, documentary, carried out by means of the survey of the dissertations produced in the PPGEnf-UFRN at the academic master’s level, together with the data available in the Plataforma Lattes on productions of students and graduates from 1999 to August 2012. The 185 dissertations produced in the PPGEnfUFRN were published between 1999 and 2012. It was possible to identify that the dissertations present a greater predominance of the qualitative approach (61%), and studies with a non-experimental design (99%). The study evidenced the productive potential of the post-graduate program studied.
