Introduction:

Surgical instrumentation or operating room nursing is governed by the law 784 of 2002; therefore, the training for this activity establishes that the student must acquire skills and knowledge mediated by learning styles, in order to respond to the hospital context.

Objective:

To develop a scientific position regarding the learning styles in clinical practice of the students of Operating Room Nursing from a health sciences university in Bogotá.

The surgical instrument nurse focuses on the patient; therefore, the training process of this person is demanding for both the instructor and the student; hence, a modification of the educational dynamics is necessary, since universities must identify weaknesses in learning and strengthen student learning styles. In this way, the position is assumed that the teacher of operating room nurses in practice has the responsibility of assuming the role of his/her position and as a teacher, to provide educational tools that identify and promote the learning styles of health science students.

Conclusions:

Learning styles become an indispensable element in the training process, not only for surgical room nurses, but for any other health professional.
