An integrative literature review to identify the social representations of nurses about their profession. The literature searching was between September and November 2015 through the following databases: SCOPUS, PUBMED, Cochrane Library, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, CINAHL, and MEDLINE. The final sample consisted of 05 articles. In the results, it was possible to identify characteristics of the publications and the social representations that nurses have of their profession. Thus, it was possible to know the differences in the perceptions of nurses about the social representations in their profession.
