It was used a special designed questionnaire by the researchers based on Nursing Activity Score (NAS) score and Comprehensive Nursing Intervention Score (CNIS) score. Data analysis was performed with the statistical package SPSS 17.0.Results: The 56% of study were men. The average age of the sample was 74 ± 15 years. The average Nursing Activity Score (NAS) for the first 10 days of hospitalization was 55, 4 ± 4, 9 and Comprehensive Nursing Intervention Score (CNIS) was 129, 5 ± 15, 4. Compared with indicators gravity nursing workload, with prognostic score APACHE II, SAPS II, the Glasgow scale and with laboratory markers creatinine and white blood showed that the Nursing Activity Score (NAS) and Comprehensive Nursing Intervention Score (CNIS) indicators a statistically significant difference (p = 0.005 and p <0.001, respectively) compared with patient outcome.Conclusions: The nursing workload (NW) as measured on scales Nursing Activity Score (NAS) and Comprehensive Nursing Intervention Score (CNIS).  Both scales are equality and validity.
