Abstract: The professional identity construction of the nurse starts from the training stage, being influenced, in addition to the formal professional training, to the social context in which the clinical practice takes place. If the technical training has a formal character, because of the assessment and the control that are taking place during the theoretical training and the clinical practice, the interactions where the future nurse is involved during the clinical practice has more informal character, but not useless in shaping the professional identity as the research results of the article points out. The research results explain the process of the professional identity construction based on the future nurse – patient relationship, around which there where outlined a series of intentional identities. These intentional identities as they are described by the future students can help them make an image that they may try to accomplish during their professional identity developement.
