The Family Health Strategy Program directs a weight of responsibility on the shoulders of those who have become the mainspring in the public health promotion process, which is the nursing professional being the responsibility of the Ministry of Health. This study aims to outline the socioeconomic profile of primary care nurses. It will use the exploratory descriptive method with a qualitative approach, having as a target population the nurses who work in the BHU Family Health Strategy Program of a municipality in the extreme north of Tocantins, and it contains a semi-structured interview as a data collection instrument. Predominance of female workers; the majority are in the 31-40 age group (40%); 40% have more than 04 years of experience. The set of data, although it points in some moments to a professional profile that contemplates a practice of assistencialist character, at the same time it leads to a reflection about a new configuration of the assistance practice based on the humanization and integrality of the assistance, as well as the construction of the citizenship.
