The study emerged from my professional experience as nurse of a specialized hospital in oncology, in which I was faced with hospitalized children and considered out of present cure possibility accompanied of a familiar. A patient is considered out of present cure possibility when all the present resources known for its cure were used up, the incorporation of this care conception made possible the development of the palliative care. Palliative care is total active care of patients whose disease does not respond to a curative treatment. The objective of the palliative care is to achieve the best quality of life for the patients and theirs families. The study object of this research was the action of the nurse´s care to the hospitalized child carrier of oncologic disease and out of present cure possibility. It has as objective: analyze comprehensively the nurse´ s care to the hospitalized child carrier of oncologic disease out of present cure possibility. Study of qualitative nature, developed with the support of the Alfred Schutz´s sociological phenomenology of Alfred Schutz due to making possible the action apprehension of this care, as a human conduct, in a continuous process from a preconceived project. The subjects of the study were 12 nurses who work in the nurseries of oncology and hematology of the pediatric hospital unit of a federal public hospital specialized in oncology, situated in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro. This research was approved by the Research Ethical Committee (nº 43-11). When you give care to the child under oncologic treatment out of present cure possibility. What do you have in view? The comprehensive analysis showed two concrete categories of the lived emerged from the speeches of the research subjects. Are they: to comfort and minimize the pain. The study made possible to understand that when giving care to the child considered out of present cure possibility the nurse develop its actions in the perspective of comfort and minimize the child´ s pain. In this context he also address its care to the familiar from there, promoting support and aid, establishing a confidence relation constructed in function of the long period of hospitalization that occurs in the oncologic diseases. In this sense, the nurse turns to the familiar as central focus of its action of care, with the purpose of support it in this special moment of suffering due to the disease of its child. The child stops being the center of attention of care that starts to become, then, the familiar of each child.
