Objective: To report on the experience of Nursing students enrolled in a Tutorial Education Program (Programa de Educação Tutorial – PET) towards the development of training on the basic notions of first aid in rural areas. Data synthesis: This is an experience report on the practical experience of nursing students enrolled in the PET of a university in the Central Region of the State of Rio Grande do Sul (RS), Brazil, towards the development of training on first aid for rural producers. The activities took place from August 2016 to December 2017. Meetings were held in the municipalities of Toropi, Dilermando de Aguiar, Ivorá, Silveira Martins and Faxinal do Soturno, located in the central region of RS. The subjects addressed were: electric shocks, accidents with venomous animals, pesticide poisoning, burns, airway obstruction, drowning and cardiorespiratory arrest (CRA). The activities performed outside the university through extension programs are believed to provide the student with complementary training as a health professional and promote health education actions, and facilitate access to information for rural populations who often have low levels of knowledge due to difficult access. Conclusion: Educational actions such as those described in this report make it possible to exchange knowledge among the people involved and hence promote the dissemination of knowledge about emergency situations and also the development of skills related to nursing practices. Training the lay population on this subject is extremely important for initial care in emergency situations. ; Objetivo: Relatar la experiencia de discentes del Programa de Educación Tutorial (PET) del grado de Enfermería para el desarrollo de capacitaciones sobre las nociones básicas de primeros auxilios en la zona rural.
