Introduction: Nursing education undergoes periodic changes due to the constant innovation of the educational process. Innovation takes place not only in the context of education, but also for the benefit of students.
Goal: Point out the possibilities of applying thought maps to nursing education.

Methodology: The development of individual concepts in the creation of the nursing map took place gradually according to the chosen methodology, while the students were continuously facilitated and guided by the teacher during the teaching process. MS Office 365 in MS Word was used for maping.

Results: The paper presents four mind maps of the influence of macronutrients in nutrition and physical activity on the cardiovascular system prepared by students of Nursing and Public Health. Their importance in education was based on a constructivist approach between teacher and student, which moved the student from memory to logical thinking and the teacher to strategic teaching of the subject. Our experience is also confirmed by the results of studies that present a mind map as an innovative method of meaningful learning, information acquisition and self-evaluation.

Conclusion: A mind map can be considered as an alternative learning strategy that allows students to develop skills, organize and group information in a meaningful way.

Keywords: nursing education, learning methods, active learning, concept map, mind  map
