For nursing, this leading role in public discourse was a real novelty. Based on the analysis of the national and local press, in this article we reconstruct the narratives that the media used to portray the work carried out by the nursing teams. Then, based on in-depth interviews and a self-administered survey obtained from the PISAC project, we looked at nursing staff's experiences during the pandemic in the south area of Buenos Aires province. We observed that although the public discourse provided a share of symbolic recognition for the professionals, the construction of a heroic story about their work buried their demands in a context of deterioration of the material and subjective conditions in which they carried out their work. La crisis sanitaria causada por la pandemia de covid-19 posicionó al sistema de salud en el centro de la escena pública e, indefectiblemente, los/as trabajadores/as sanitarios/as adquirieron una visibilidad inusitada. Para la enfermería, este protagonismo en el discurso público constituyó una verdadera novedad. A partir del análisis de la prensa nacional y local, en este artículo nos ocupamos de reconstruir las narrativas que los medios de comunicación emplearon para retratar el trabajo realizado por los equipos de enfermería. Luego, sobre la base de entrevistas en profundidad y una encuesta auto administrada, obtenidas como resultado del proyecto Pisac, analizamos las experiencias del personal de enfermería durante la pandemia en la zona sur de la provincia de Buenos Aires. Observamos que si bien el discurso público aportó una cuota de reconocimiento simbólico para las y los profesionales, la construcción de un relato heroico sobre su trabajo soterró sus demandas en un contexto de deterioro de las condiciones materiales y subjetivas en las que desarrollaron su labor.
