Objective: To describe the profile of nurses-teachers working in professional nursing education in the State of Rio Grande do Sul. Method: After ethical approval, data were collected through an online questionnaire, answered by 109 teachers. Analysis performed in the light of quantitative and descriptive statistics, using frequency, percentage, and cross-frequencies analysis. Results: Predominance of the female gender, over 31 years of age, graduates from 5 to 10 years old, post-graduates, unlicensed, less than 5 years of teaching experience and 5 to 10 years of care (51.4%), or higher than 10 years (25.7%). The nurses-teachers work predominantly under the Consolidation of Labor Laws (CLL), have a double employment relationship and, for the most part, consider teaching as a complementary professional activity. Conclusions: The nurses-teachers are professionals who are experienced in the practice of what they teach and are prepared for their professional improvement, but still have little training and teaching experience.
