The Coronavirus-disease-2019 (COVID-19) Pandemic gives another chance to rethink nurses help and praise their hospitality, leading to making them heroes. However, nurses image of sacrifice and devotion has twofold or antinomic meaning, leading to feeling betrayed. This paper observes and compares nurses two contrasting images of heroic and negative jobs. The second chapter introduces and explains the high-minded activities and adversity that nurses, particularly managing and caring for infected patients, experience by referring to the media and shows the support from the Korean people. The third chapter treats their negative or disadvantageous aspects resulting from their job―lack of expertise in the field of preparing and managing the infectious disease, labeling effect on nurses and their family that they might be infected, anxiety and pressure, and feeling of inconvenience from wearing their protecting suits, causing their condition of being burned out and the manpower vacuum. Lastly, some suggestions to correcting the wrong images and reinforcing the imperfection of publicness of medical treatment.
