Trabalho, Educação e Saúde - TES (Work, Education and Health) is an open access scientific journal, edited by the Joaquim Venâncio Polytechnic School of Health, from Oswaldo Cruz Foundation.
This article is the result of research aimed at understanding how the relationships between standards and renormalizations occur in a hospital in the context of the social division of labor. The subjects were two nurses and four nursing technicians from a hospital located in the Vale do Rio Pardo region, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The methods used to collect data were semi-structured interviews, participant observation, document analysis, and field diaries. As a result, it was possible to understand that health works continuously generate knowledge in their daily work that essential for achieving this. However, such knowledge is not recognized because of the spontaneous nature of its production. In addition, although in prescribed work the division of nursing work foresees rules as to the division of knowledge, in the actual work there are both exchanges and production of knowledge.
