This article has the purpose to investigate career trajectories in two categories of nursing professionals - Nursing Assistant and Nursing Technician - considering different generational groups to which they associate. In methodological terms, the research that subsidized its results can be characterized as qualitative, conducted through the multiple case study method. The survey comprised in-depth and semi-structured interviews. The reports obtained were treated based on the procedures prescribed for the technique of image evocation. As a result, it can be observed that the three generations pointed out peculiarities regarding the profile and professional values required. The interviewee of the Babyboomer generation is more "faithful" to the profession, the work itself and the institutions to which they are linked, developing in the same long careers. The Generation X professional, compared to Babyboomers, shows a greater appreciation of their individual career vis-à-vis the work itself and the organizational "addiction". The Generation Y interviewee, on the other hand, showed, in comparison to the other two groups, less involvement in the career, institution and work itself, being more intolerant and contradictory; with greater intensity in the labor market. Lastly, the set of findings corroborate empirical perceptions, as well as data from scientific research that point to differences in understanding the notion of career among different generational groups that currently coexist in organizational contextsDownloads
