The current study aimed to make a survey of the articles written by nursing students that were published through the Students' Pages in the Brazilian Nursing Journal, Nursing Journal from Bahia and Nursing Journal from São Paulo from 1982 to 1995, in order to verify if this space is being used and the themes that have been approached. This investigation evidenced that, from the three studied periodicals, 109 issues were available in the library, 15 presented articles published in the Students' Pages and 21 texts were found. Among these, the most approached themes are related to nursing practice.
