This study aims to reflect Nursing in the mirror, based on the concepts about Nursing specialities and the profession itself, the formation and professional practice, according to the Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem (2003). There was a first investigative phase, but field work was not satisfactory since questions were not fully answered nor explanantion on the professional performance and attributions of specialized nurses were given. Then a descriptive study was developed, a qualitative approach with a bibliographical review based on the content analysis method. So the general objective of this study is to introduce images Nursing reflects in the mirror, starting with an overview of the profession and its specilities and the scond image is based on Nursing s own concepts on the profession, on the formation and on professional practice, according to the Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem (2003). The specific objectives are: to describe the main viewpoints on the profession s characteristics, on the process of formation and professional practice, contextualizing the specialities scenario based on these overviews. Among the main results of the study, we point out the ellaboration of a general overview of Nursing in Brazil and its specialities, and of four analysis categories: what is the Nursing profession; professional formation; professional practice; and Nursing under construction. It seems that Nursing has two different reflections in this mirror, which do not talk to each other. The first image reflected in the mirror is Nursing trying to define professional specialities concerned with technical improvement searching for self-assertion in a more specific and selective labor market. The second image is Nursing in search of its destiny as science , so it reflects upon, examines and debates on healthcare and theories which systematize this care. The point is that one reflection is very different from the other, what creates a distorted image about the profession.
