This research focuses on the presence of men in Nursing and tries to find out who they are and what they want to be, both personally and professionally. The life stories and projects of four subjects who graduated in the last three decades, plus the ones of a male student who is currently at the university, were analysed. The qualitative methodology was used and we have tried to reveal the noticeable and/or emergent identity policies in this reality, as well as the emancipatory possibilities. The studies of Ciampa and Habermas were used as theoretical references. Through the categorization of four life stories and going deeper in the analyses of the individual subject in the fifth story, who was considered emblematic, we have concluded that these male nurses have studied Nursing either by their own option or influenced by the family, besides considering Nursing as a feasible job possibility. They have embodied provider characters showing the re-position of this character in building their identity. They consolidate the ideology of knowing in order to command, reinforcing the power of hegemony groups in the health care institutions. They believe their admission to the profession will contribute to the social recognition they desire, reinforcing efficiency, professionalism, scientificity ideologies, the ugly duckling in relation to doctors category, experiencing the character super nurses supermen which, likewise, has been affecting women in Nursing for over a century as super nurses superwomen . They are part of the assistance model that attends the technicist market, without innovative projects neither for their working environment nor for collective attitudes in search of changes. We believe that the overcoming of the conflicts pointed out in this study may happen gradually, intersubjectively and objectively, making it real in conquering space and power, together with self reflection for conscientious choices, always in search of the understanding in social relationships. We think it is vital to discuss beyond scientificity, competence, gender or power. It is necessary a progressive and ongoing negotiation based on ethics and moral; an identity policy to face technicist paradigms, which are dominant and dehumanizing, both for the patients as well as for the health care agents in this context
