Objective: the objective of this study was to report the participation of nurses from an Organ Procurement Organization (OPO) in the unification of the service with an Intra-Hospital Organ Donation and Transplant Tissue Commission (CIHDOTT). Method: the report includes the experience of a hospital complex, a reference in health, in the southern region of Brazil, from August 2016 to December 2018, with the reformulation of activities in three stages: a) Administrative and assistance processes; b) Nurse assignments; and c) Permanent education. Results: organ transplants have evolved significantly over the years, with an increase of 2.4% in the effective donor rate per million population (pmp) in 2018. The nurses of the Organ Procurement Organization (OPO) and the Intra- Hospital Organ Donation and Tissue Transplantation (CIHDOTT) should be trained to act at each stage of this process, being responsible for planning, organizing, coordinating and executing the care of these patients. The participation of nurses is fundamental in the development of the activities of the OPO and CIHDOTT, providing care to patients and their families, developing management, assistance and education activities, becoming a reference for the health team in the process of donation and transplants. Conclusion: The performance of these professionals in the unification of the two services was essential, allowing improvement in the routines and good results, evidenced by the increase of the notifications of possible donors and consequently in the increase in the number of donations allowing the best organization of the service and interaction with the assistance teams.
