Introducción: La identidad e imagen de las enfermeras son conceptos interrelacionados que reflejan el sentido de uno mismo y las percepciones sociales sobre la profesión. Ambos son esenciales para el desarrollo de una práctica confiada y respetada. Objetivo: Develar el marco conceptual asociado a la imagen e identidad profesional de enfermería desde la perspectiva de enfermeras jubiladas. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio cualitativo basado en el paradigma constructivista y Teoría Fundamentada según Morse, que explora la identidad e imagen profesional de enfermería en Chile mediante entrevistas y grupos focales con enfermeras jubiladas. Para el análisis de los datos, se siguió la metodología propuesta por Charmaz. Sobre el rigor ético del estudio, se contó con la evaluación y aprobación de un Comité de Ética Científica independiente. Resultados: Participaron de este estudio 20 enfermeras jubiladas con una edad promedio de 74 años. Se establecieron 4 categorías que construyen la imagen social de las enfermeras y 3 categorías que construyen su identidad profesional. Discusión: Este estudio explora la imagen e identidad profesional de las enfermeras jubiladas, destacando cómo la pandemia mejoró la percepción pública de la profesión, de acuerdo con estudios internacionales. Han disminuido estereotipos como la feminización de la enfermería y su subordinación a la medicina, ampliamente descritos en la literatura. Las participantes se ven como líderes naturales, pero señalan deshumanización debido al agotamiento, tareas administrativas y los avances tecnológicos. Conclusiones: Resaltar una imagen auténtica y una identidad profesional coherente de la profesión fortalece su valor, estatus y reconocimiento social, lo que, a su vez, impacta positivamente en la calidad de los cuidados prestados a los pacientes.
