Since March 2020, Brazil has been going through one of its most difficult historical periods. As the months went by, the covid-19 pandemic was no longer just a serious problem from a health point of view, but exposed much more complex structural issues, including some that had remained practically marginal until then. In this context, the nursing professionals, who had already been working in very complicated conditions due to the lack of salary recognition and adequate working conditions, were directly impacted by the problem. The work experiences of these professionals during the pandemic in the city of João Pessoa are the theme of this work. Responsible for the direct care of infected patients, the narratives of the nurses' experiences are the point from which the story of the pandemic is being told here. Over eight interviews carried out remotely, these care professionals reported the events that occurred during the first year of the covid-19 pandemic in the hospital services where they work in João Pessoa, in the state of Paraíba. Issues such as risk, illness, lack of adequate working conditions and the intensification of the dimensions of the care process at a time of complete social vulnerability were identified as aggravating factors in this period.
