Perceptions of nurses as they reflect on the 'hero' trope being used to define them during the COVID-19 crisis. Twenty-four interviews conducted with nurses working with COVID-19 patients. Analysis helped uncover themes of how nurses perceived the trope, including self-sacrifice, super-heroism, inaccuracy, and exploitation.
