The COVID-19 pandemic has had several repercussions, particularly on the nurses’ mental health, which is adversely affected in their everyday life role as caregivers; therefore, it is a priority to take care of this issue as part of the human right to health. With this conviction and my experience as a clinical nurse, researcher, and scholar, this editorial presents part of a lesson learned in the support and fostering group for nurses in crisis, who face uncertainty, suffering due to contagion, and the death of their relatives and coworkers.
