Popis: Aim To explore the experiences of the first nurses assigned to work in COVID-19 units with the onset of the outbreak in Turkey. Background Even though While the risks faced by nurses' face when while performing a dangerous task during the an epidemic are similar, their experiences may differ. Method This qualitative study was conducted carried out with 17 nurses. The interviews were carried out conducted individually and online.

Needs include visibility, support, adaptation, sleep/rest. Nurses are were angry because of their unmet expectations, feelings of injustice, and selfish and insensitive behaviors they faced. They questioned their profession and a decided to either alienate from the profession or continue with the gains they had made.
