Hospitals are characterized as complex structures, with an increased demand for nursing professionals qualified for quality care given to users. The management of human resources in this field is a private duty of nurses, conferred upon Law of Professional Nursing Practice 74998 of June 25, 1986. The present work aimed to present and analyze the estimate of nursing staff at the University Hospital of Paraná. The staff estimation was based on the theoretical reference of quantifying work based on annually required hours for nursing care as recommended by the Pan-American Health Organization. Participative works with managers from each specific unit were held. As a result it was verified the need to expand the number of 15 nurses and 111 Nursing technicians.
