Objective: to understand the perspectives of hospital nurses on their role in crisis management in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: qualitative, descriptive, exploratory study carried out between December 2021 and March 2022 in a public hospital. 22 nurses participated in a guided audio-recorded interview with six open questions. Creswell content analysis aided by Iramuteq® software was applied. Results: from data analysis, four classes emerged: Nurses' performance reflected in care and management indicators; Difficulties faced by nurses to act during the pandemic; Previous experiences of nurses as a guide for acting in the pandemic; Nurses' performance in strategies for managing the COVID-19 crisis. Conclusion: The performance of the nurse was reflected in the indicators to the detriment of the difficulties at work, mainly related to the deficit of human resources. To manage the crisis, they used previous experiences such as H1N1 and strategies inseparable from management/assistance to mitigate impacts and meet demand.
