In the nursing, to plan and to execute activities are essential to guarantee assistance with quality. Descriptive study, with qualitative boarding, carried through in a hospital of great size, it had as general purpose to analyze the perceptions of the managers about the planning and execution of the nursing activities in a hospital of the public net of assistance and education of Goiânia - Goiás. The study considered as individuals 17 (seventeen) nursing managers of the ambulatorial units and internment units. The data had been collected using half-structuralized interviews and they were analyzed as what Bardin praises (1979). The results had shown that the managers elaborate the planning better than they execute and there are factors that interfere with the planning and execution of the activities. It was concluded that the managers adopt the participative planning, indicating change of paradigm in the administration.  Between the factors that make things easier, they are the adoption of the work in team, the proximity between management and servers, incentive to the creativity and interest in the execution of the planned actions. The factors that make things difficult include the scarcity of human, material and financial resources; factors related to the components of the team, such as: motivation, lack of time, absence of training, difficulties in managing; insufficiency of support of the institution and of the other services of the hospital; inadequate physical structure; and the unexpected of everyday. The origin of these factors was attributed to the proper people, to the fact that the hospital belongs to the public net, the institution and the system used for the management of the support services.
