We are 3 nurses and an associate professor in nursing science working in 3 diverse university hospitals in Italy. Me, Stefano Bambi (intensive care unit [ICU] staff nurse), and Prof Laura Rasero in Florence (Tuscany); Alberto Lucchini (ICU head nurse) in Monza (Lombardy); and Pasquale Iozzo (nurse manager) in Palermo (Sicily). We have written this editorial to offer to all our colleagues our point of view on some fundamental issues related to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, especially related to the humanization of care.
