SUMMARY:

Introduction: The Brazilian population is aging rapidly, with life expectancy increasing due to improved living conditions and health. In this scenario, it is essential to adopt measures to ensure the well-being and quality of life of this aging population, which has specific health needs. In this context, it is crucial that healthcare professionals, including nurses, are prepared to meet the demands of the elderly. Objective: To analyze the situation of nursing education for the healthcare of the elderly population in public Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Rio Grande do Norte. Methods: For this qualitative research, public HEIs in the state offering a Bachelor's degree in Nursing were selected. Data collection involved semi-structured interviews with faculty members of the Structuring Teaching Nucleus (NDE), appointed by the course coordination. Additionally, two focus groups were conducted with final-year students from two HEIs in RN, appointed by the student representative or, in their absence, by the course coordination. The collected data were analyzed using Content Analysis technique. Results: Results from the analysis of focus group data revealed two categories: Pedagogical approach of nursing courses and Nursing education for working with the elderly population. Interviews with faculty were categorized into: Structure of nursing education in public HEIs in Rio Grande do Norte and Nursing education for working with the elderly population. Final considerations: This research revealed weaknesses in the curriculum structure of nursing programs concerning the health care of the elderly, which is a relevant concern in light of Brazil's demographic and epidemiological scenario.
