AIM: Healthcare staff, especially nurses, who are in the frontline of caring of patients with COVID-19 have valuable experiences about taking care of these patients. Therefore, the aim of this study was exploring nurses' perception of taking care of patients with COVID-19. DESIGN: This qualitative study was performed using the conventional content analysis method. METHODS: 13 nurses who were taking care of patients with COVID-19 were selected using purposeful sampling in the Lorestan University of Medical Sciences.

RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: Improve the work situation of the nurses during care of COVID-19 patients, which can directly or indirectly improve the quality of care of these patients.
