Resumen
Several studies confirm that there is a mismatch between what nurses are and what society knows about them. This dissociation has negative consequences for nurses themselves, for patients and for society as a whole. This article describes and provides evidence on one of the possible causes that may explain why this misinformation occurs. The starting hypothesis is that nurses have not received adequate training to develop communicative competence with all the stakeholders with whom they will interact in their professional careers. The lack is notorious when they have to interact with the media. Most nurses have not been trained to be able to respond effectively to the informative demands that journalists may request from them. The low presence of nurses in the information published on health could therefore be justified not only by the lack of knowledge that journalists have about this profession, but also by the lack of training that nurses have received in this regard during their university studies. The article concludes by encouraging reflection/dialogue on this issue from the four areas in which nurses practice their profession: health care, management, academia and research. It is hoped that this debate will be the seed that will contribute to nurses being trained to create their own narrative. This will help society to acquire a true understanding of what nursing is and what it contributes to the health of the 21st century.
