Abstract: Based on our experience as Nursing Professors, we wish, by means of this reflection, to urge a discussion on nursing professional training, following guidelines as Ethics, Human Rights, and Citizenship. We understand health is a human value which elicits further values, and the challenges we face in this area are not of a moral kind, like choosing between good and evil--they are ethical dilemmas, stemming from the wide range of contradictory imperatives that are at stake within this scenario. It is paramount, therefore, to promote the professional training of competent nurses so that they can think critically about fundamental issues arising in their daily practice, and act according to ethics and citizenship values.
