RESUMO
Nurses have largely contributed to the national effort to fight the Covid-19 crisis, but have also been strongly affected by its consequences. This observation, reinforced by the recent recommendations of the World Health Organization's report on the situation of nurses in the world, underlines the need to initiate changes in the nursing field in France without delay.

The patient-centred palliative care approach means establishing partnerships between him or her, the caregivers, the family, social sector professionals and care volunteers. Communication, which takes the form of dialogue, listening, establishing a relationship of trust and observing behaviour and body language is essential faced with the uncertainty and existential questioning of the patient and their family. In the patient's home, as this experienced nurse describes, this questioning leads caregivers to reflect on their professionalism and humanity.

Although it is a free choice and appears paradoxical, the choice to be a nurse is binding. In keeping with its Code of Ethics, the nursing profession demands an ethical, social, political and collective commitment that we cannot shy away from or we will fail to fulfil our obligations.

The publication of the code of ethics for nurses requires the French National Order of Nurses' structures to undertake initiatives with the aim of promoting it as well as implementing the public service missions which have now been attributed to the Order. Each regional and departmental body has its role to play in raising awareness of this code and its application in the field.
