Method : A qualitative study delineated as a case study. The data was collected based on focus groups with professors from six undergraduate nursing courses in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil, totaling 50 subjects. Based on the professors' discourse, the conceptions and mutual relations between professional competencies, the formative process and ethics were analyzed. Results: The results were organized and the discussion explored through the thematic categories: The ethics constructed in the process of training nurses - the professors' conceptions, and spaces and strategies for the teaching of ethics in nurse training. Conclusions: The issue of ethics was shown to be transversal in the formative process.
