Abstract: Objective: to analyze the perception of newly enrolled undergraduate nursing students regarding the social and professional recognition of nurses. Method: Descriptive and exploratory study, with a qualitative approach, carried out in a higher education institution in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The participants were 20 students from the first and second periods of the undergraduate nursing course. Data collection took place virtually, in April and May 2022, through a semi-structured interview. To process the data, the software Interface de R pour les Analyzes Multidimensionnelles de Textes ET de Questionnaires was used. Results: The participants' perception of the social recognition of the profession is still fragile due to situations such as: mistaken comparison between nursing and medicine; the population's lack of knowledge about the complexity of nurses' work; and little investment in nurse training. However, they highlighted that the recognition of nursing strengthened during the Covid-19 pandemic, when the population saw the profession's relevant role in combating the disease. Conclusion: There were situations in nursing practice that generate a dichotomy: sometimes the social and professional recognition of the category is positive and sometimes it is negative. Furthermore, the study reinforced the need for higher education institutions, through qualified training for the profession, to contribute to positively strengthening the image of nursing for Brazilian society.
