Sammanfattning
The purpose of the study is to explore what it entails for nurses to perform good work. It may be
challenging to maintain good work when demands of efficiency threaten professional and ethical
ideals. How nurses describe expectations they set for themselves and others will also indicate their
views on professional identity. The study is qualitative with a descriptive and explorative design,
based on individual semi-structured interviews with eight nurses in specialist- and community health
care. The data were analyzed in three different interpretational contexts, aiming at an insightful and
valid understanding of the text. Findings show that good work was associated with responsible
practice and a patient-centered approach. An obligation to update themselves is integrated into their
professional identity. Findings show that we can no longer take for granted that nurses handle
cross-pressures and value-conflicts in the profession.
