Critical thinking is characterized as a competence to be developed during nursing graduation, which is why future nurses need to (re) build knowledge that will allow them to act based upon it. This research has as general objective to understand how nursing undergraduates construct the necessary knowledge to develop a critical thinking competence during their training, under the prism of the social networks of knowledge. It is a qualitative and quantitative study developed at a public university in the interior of Bahia, Brazil, with twenty-five students who attended four compulsory courses of the seventh semester of the Curricular Matrix of the Nursing Course. Individual interviews were conducted as information collection technique. Since it was a research involving human beings, we followed Resolutions 466 of December 12, 2012 and 510 of April 7, 2016 of the National Health Council, and the project was submitted to the Ethics in Research Committee of the university, approved under decree 2.187.908, CAE: 71245717.2.0000.0055. The information was treated based on the Social Network Analysis Methodology and the Thematic Content Analysis Technique. The results were divided into three distinct moments: 1º) Socio-demographic characterization of the participants; 2º) Networks of knowledge configured from the interpersonal relations established by the nursing undergraduates in the perspective of the acquisition of the critical thinking competence and 3º) Thematic categories that bring objectivity to the knowledge constructed in network by the nursing undergraduates from the perspective of the acquisition of critical thinking. It was evidenced that the participants make up two networks (Intragroup Knowledge Network and Extragroup Knowledge Network), from which they exchange and share knowledge, contributing to the acquisition of their critical thinking competence. It was described how such knowledge is constructed, what disciplines and pedagogical methods cooperate for that construction, what sources they use and what critical nodes/barriers and facilities/possibilities they find in the course of this construction. The necessary knowledge for the development of the critical thinking competence of the nursing undergraduates is not only constructed from individual studies, but also through exchanges and sharing of information and knowledge among the students and other academic and non-academic actors, as well as through the search for other instances or spaces of production, storage and dissemination of information and knowledge via the Internet, such as virtual libraries, online databases, Facebook, WhatsApp, among others, even though the physical presence of the teacher and the student in the classroom or practice field is essential for their professional training.
