Nurses have been at the forefront of the crisis caused by COVID-19, which highlighted the opportunities of the health system and the need for the care of this professional guild. The purpose of this study was to analyze the behavior of COVID-19 mortality in nursing professionals in Latin America. It was based on a systematic review of the literature, where the PRISMA statement was followed up in the SCIELO, EMBASE, MEDLINE, PsycoINFO and SCOPUS databases. The results of the search and application of the inclusion and exclusion criteria allowed the selection of 25 papers that were synthesized in a matrix that promulgated the content analysis by year, country of the resource and substantial contributions of the review. The effect of nursing professional behavior in an emergency and fragile wellness setting as a result of COVID-19 was perceived.
