Objective: to understand the impacts on nursing professionals as the second victim of patient safety incidents. Method: qualitative exploratory-descriptive study approved by the research ethics committee, carried out with 20 nursing professionals at a university hospital in southern Brazil, between November 2021 and January 2022, through semi-structured interviews analyzed from the discursive textual analysis. Results: the second victims' feelings categories, demonstrating the presence of negative feelings, with fear being the most recurrent; and impact on the professional path and on the work environment, questioning their ability as a good professional and the choice of profession as being adequate, allowed understanding the impact on the nursing professional. Final considerations: the impacts were related to the feeling of guilt for the fact that occurred, self-judgment, judgment by peers and by the patient, fear of the outcome for the patient and the consequences for himself, and doubts about his ability and performance at work.
