Because of the importance of forming a new model of men and women that our society needs, an observational, analytical and cross-sectional study was conducted with nursing students who are included in the new pedagogical model. The sample was formed by 200 students belonging to the Vice-direction of Nursing at "Comandante Pinares" General Teaching Hospital in San Cristóbal, Pinar del Río. An anonymous survey was applied (it is attached) where questions about the most important concepts of values and their formation were requested, inserting problemic situations to assess by means of the answers given ethical principles in nursing students, to be developed in the future profession. This was also aimed at knowing which is the formation of moral values in the nursing personnel facing the daily activities at work in order to obtain the excellence in health services. The need to become aware of that nursing personnel must be able, not only to follow the nursing procedures properly, but also to develop moral values. It was observed that despite being skillfull professionally,the formation of moral values and ethical principles must be strengthened, emphasizing on responsibility, courage, audacity and honesty to perform their activities at work.
