The objective of this research was to get to know the nurse's performance in the work management of the community health agents. Qualitative interpretive study developed with 25 nurse managers from a municipality of Serra Catarinense, Brazil. Bardin's content analysis was performed using Atlas. Ti 6.2 software. From the results, two categories emerged that explore difficulties and facilities for management. Even faced with difficulties such as the lack of resources and autonomy, it was evidenced that the Nurses seek to develop the management in order to qualify the work of the Community Health Agents. Positive points include the participation of Community Health Agents in the team activities, the valorization of work and the motivation for professional growth as facilitators of the management exercise. It is recommended to develop management skills in Nurses to increase the workability in the Family Health Strategy.
