In this indefinite pandemic situation, roles of nurses have been most illuminated by the public, but the nurses may soon start experiencing burnout. This paper highlights roles of nurses in COVID care in Korea and nursing strategies for the post-COVID era. As we are the frontline advocators of the public, when we develop strategies for their health and quality of life, we receive public support that can help resolve our issues. We will improve our poor working environments through mutual cooperation, as we are one. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: Nurses need to possess a variety of abilities, such as the digital literacy required by the non-contact era after COVID-19, and to expand the boundaries of the nursing profession in convergence of health services with technology.
