Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic in Spain has meant an exceptional situation in health centers, which were strained as never before. The healthcare teams, including the students who attended inpatients, have lived this experience on the front line, which has undoubtedly had a personal and professional impact on them.  A little more than a year later, the nurse-teachers and students have shared spaces for analysis, debate and reflection on the experience. This article shares the reflections made, contextualized with the scenario lived, and collects data from some studies carried out in Cataluña. Today we are still asking ourselves: what have we learned from this experience?
