Abstract

Introduction: Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a high-resolution imaging diagnostic method, considered the gold standard in diagnostic medicine, with image acquisition as an alternative to ionizing radiation. Due to its execution through a magnetic field, there are several risks involved in its performance, requiring proper preparation of the team to promote patient safety. Objective: report the experience of a Nursing student in assisting patients in Magnetic Resonance Imaging exams, during the mandatory supervised internship at an Imaging Diagnostic Center. Method: this is a descriptive study, of the experience report type, which emerged from the mandatory supervised internship, which makes up the last period of the undergraduate nursing course at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, between September and November 2024, in a teaching hospital. Results and discussions: the practices carried out during the supervised internship in the sector were compatible with the scientific theory, which supports the need for measures to promote patient safety in the environment and during the performance of MRI exams performed by nurses and the nursing team. Conclusion: this study highlights the importance of the nurse's role in the effective performance of MRI exams, especially with regard to promoting the safety of the patient, companions and the professional team, through the application of the five stages of the Nursing process, showing the need for training and theoretical basis for the safe practical development of MRI.
