How to draw a node as an arrow?

So far I have this code that generates 4 boxes side by side:
documentclass{article}
usepackage{tikz}
tikzstyle{arw} = [retangle, minimum width=3cm,
minimum height=2cm,
text centered,
fill=green!40]
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}[node distance=3.2cm]
node (inicio)[arw] {inicio};
node (meio)[arw, right of=inicio] {meio};
node (outro meio)[arw, right of=meio] {outro meio};
node (fim) [arw, right of=outro meio] {fim};
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}
but I want something like this: (nodes are the arrows)
+--------+. +---------+. +---------+. +---------+
| text > > here > > and > > here |
+--------+´ +---------+´ +---------+´ +---------+
Does anyone know how to accomplish this? Is there a way instead of using a rectangle, another command like "arrow" or something?

One easy option is to use a smartdiagram
. The package documentation is here for more options.
documentclass[a4paper]{article}
usepackage{smartdiagram}
begin{document}
begin{center}
smartdiagram[sequence diagram]{inicio, meio, outro meio, fim}
end{center}
end{document}

You were almost there. Such arrows come with the shapes.symbols
library. Please note that the syntax right of
is deprecated (and not even part of the pgfmanual any more), please use the positioning
library with its syntax right=of
.
documentclass{article}
usepackage{tikz}
usetikzlibrary{positioning,shapes.symbols}
tikzset{arw/.style={signal, minimum width=3cm,
minimum height=2cm,signal from=west,
text centered,fill=#1 }}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}[node distance=2pt]
node [arw=blue] (inicio) {inicio};
node [arw=red,right=of inicio](meio) {meio};
node [arw=green, right=of meio] (outro meio){outro meio};
node [arw=orange, right=of outro meio] (fim){fim};
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}
