%X this study aimed to identify the (in)visibility of nursing care and discuss ways of (dis)articulating this care with family care in the social network of children with special healthcare needs. a qualitative research was performed with health professionals at a pediatric hospital, four units of the family medical program (fmp), and children¡¯s relatives living in niter¨®i (rj). the field work was put in practice after irb approval (hesfa/eean), consisting of five semi-structured interviews and two group dynamics. critical discourse analysis indicated that nursing care is visible in the child¡¯s social network through the nurse¡¯s educational and care activities and home visits by the nurisng aide of the fmp. due to errors in the national health system¡¯s referral and counter-referral, mothers articulate the network and not the health service; thus, the reorganization of the system in the state would foster social networks that are less wearing for their families.
