| Sumario: | Work is considered the means by which people obtain resources to achieve the proposed goals, their performance depends on the conditions that the organization offers to carry out its activities. For nursing professionals, the work environment is complex, especially if they work in healthcare areas, considering that the activities they carry out present a series of risks derived from the interaction with the care subjects. In this order, we sought to identify the working conditions of graduates of a nursing program from a public university in Colombia. For this, a descriptive study was designed, with a sample of 110 nurses, to whom a survey by the Labor Observatory for Education was applied, which investigates sociodemographic characteristics, job characteristics, labor relations, hiring and job security condition. The results obtained were able to identify that 20% of the nurses had between one and two years of professional performance and 44% were hired by associate work cooperatives. 45%, most receive salaries between $ 1,500,000 and $ 2,000,000, 33% between 1,000,000 and less 1,500,000, despite these low wages and these illegal forms of hiring, 95% of graduates consider that the Work has contributed to their personal growth and 62% are satisfied with the job they have performed and also consider the skills acquired during their professional training to be very useful. However, the working conditions, wages and the low social recognition are not consistent with the dedication and professionalism of the act of caring. Nurses need to be vindicated by the National government as a majority female group with a disadvantage of lower wages compared to other groups of mostly male health professionals.
