Objective: to identify newspaper reports on the situation of nursing professionals coping with the Covid-19 pandemic. Method: a documentary study carried out on 11 digital newspapers, consulted from March to June 2022, with initial reading of titles, headlines, leads and images. Once the material was available, the information was captured and organized and submitted to content analysis. Results: most of the reports were from international newspapers, published between February and May 2020 and presented content in the form of testimonies and photographs. Four categories were created: meanings attributed by the population to nursing professionals in coping with the new coronavirus; nursing professionals' role in health care; nursing professionals' situation in health services; and nursing professionals' perspectives on the pandemic. Final considerations: both nationally and internationally, nursing professionals have been recognized as essential in dealing with the pandemic.
