The purpose of this study was to construct an educational booklet to help nursing students about peripheral venipuncture. This is a methodological research, developed from March to May 2017. The booklet, entitled “Peripheral Venipuncture. Learn More!”, was organized with easy-to-understand information comprised by 23 informative and illustrated pages. The information included in the booklet intends to clarify doubts regarding the Peripheral Venipuncture procedure (PVP), from the preparation of the material used to the procedure itself. Considering this perspective, the study is of great importance to improve the understanding of nurses' capacity to act and develop educational strategies. Addressing PVP with college students will favor the empowerment capacity to perform the procedure.
