Introduction:

The Nursing professor is an essential element in teaching, not only in the transmission of knowledge, but also because, based on a pedagogical relationship with the student, the Nursing professor stimulates the teaching of care.

Objective:

To understand the teaching of care in the classroom by the Nursing teacher.

Methods:

Qualitative and phenomenological study carried out, from March 2019 to January 2020, with Nursing professors from a public university in Guanajuato, Mexico. Ten phenomenological interviews were carried out; ethical principles were observed and the analysis was performed using Heidegger's hermeneutic circle, reaching, for this article, the pre-understanding or ontic approach.

Results:

A central topic emerged (teaching of nursing care), with three sub-topics: teaching strategies, learning environment and pedagogical reflection about nursing care.

Conclusions:

The pedagogical relationship is care, focused on creating environments to experience this care through its dynamism and the incorporation of strategies that promote it.
