Abstract: Objective: to apprehend the perceptions of nurses in an emergency care unit regarding the organization of nursing care, working conditions and changes in their daily work and life during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: this is a research with a qualitative, descriptive approach. Data collection took place through an interview, in october 2020. The participants were nurses from the emergency care unit of a private hospital located in the interior of the State of Rio Grande do Sul. The analysis of the results was carried out using the thematic content analysis method with the aid of the Nvivo software. Results: five nurses participated. Working conditions were changed and rebuilt in terms of physical structure, human resources and use of personal protective equipment. The involvement of nurses with the nursing team made it possible to overcome daily challenges and face adversities in the face of the pandemic. Changes occurred in daily work and life during the COVID-19 pandemic. Fear, insecurity and social distance from family members were mentioned, but we realized the understanding that this is a time of much learning and appreciation of life. Conclusion: the pandemic brought about changes in the organization of nursing care and it was noticed, in this period, that the leadership of nurses became increasingly necessary to lead an efficient team and health education enabled assertive approaches. Nurses act as team leaders and are assential for problem solving and team preparation. It is hoped that this study will serve as a foundation, among others, for reflections and actions that qualify care in collective emergency situations.
