Introduction: In the area of health, the ethical competence of future professionals is understood as the autonomous capacity for perception, reflection and coherent decision in relation to human behaviors in health care and life. Nursing has been developing based on empirical knowledge and grounded theories and multiple professional activities focused on care, teaching, management and research. Objective: To apprehend the nurses' perceptions from a University Hospital about the formation and applicability of the ethical within the profession. Methods: Qualitative and descriptive research, performed at the University Hospital in São Luis/MA. We used a semi-structured interview with 30 nurses. The speeches were examined by content analysis technique. Results: Four categories emerged: a) Ethics education; b) Ethical posture of nurses; c) Relationship with the institution; d) Ethical domain of nurses. Conclusion: It is necessary to understand the importance of ethics in nursing, in teaching or assistance, linked to the values acquired in the social, family and religious formation inherent to the individual.
