ABP has been used as a learning method all over the world, however, in undergraduate nursing education it is still little used. It is considered relevant to carry out studies based on students and graduates’ experiences of a degree course that use this method. Main Goal: To understand the perception of students and graduates about the use of PBL in the undergraduate nursing course. Method: This is a qualitative study guided by the comprehensive and interpretive modality, based on dialectical hermeneutics assumptions. The research was conducted from four focus groups with 17 students and 16 graduates from a higher education institution in the interior of the state of São Paulo that uses PBL remotely in nurses’ training. The invitation to participate in the study was made via email, WhatsApp and Facebook, when the analysis’ goals were explained and the interest in participating was verified. Results: Data analysis led to the elaboration of five thematic categories, namely: suffering to appropriate the logic of active learning; acquisition of autonomy for the continuous search for knowledge; stimulation of clinical reasoning; improved interpersonal relationships and communication; and finally, theoretical-practical articulation. Conclusions: When using the PBL, there is an approximation with the curricular guidelines for the nurses’ training, promoting the acquisition of autonomy for the continuous search for knowledge, the ability to communicate and interpersonal relationships, the development of clinical reasoning and critical thinking, leading to a contextualized and expanded practice. Furthermore, we emphasize the potential of the study for qualitative research, using online focus groups, thus overcoming the challenges of qualitative research in virtual environments.
