Materials and Methods: Sectional design, with a sample being all the students ' enrolled (73 students) in IV and VI level nursing program in the city of Bucaramanga that rotated through clinical and community areas. Results: In the opinion of the students, the skills of the nursing process were reached between 2.63 % to 100 % and a level of compliance with 2.7 and 4, which according to the scale established are fair to very good. The skill "provides care using the nursing process " was common among rotations in IV level and were found no differences in the perceived level of achievement (p = 0.3180 ANVOVA test), but there were also significant differences between the level reached between IV and VI semesters. Discussion: Although there are few studies on the measurement of skills in nursing process for university level education, a large number of scientific publications have made evident the results of the application of this method in clinical practice. Conclusions: Knowing the extent to which nursing skills are being achieved and at what level, makes easy to adjust curricular aspects of the study program
