Abstract. The successful development of any profession largely depends on its image, social ranking and prestige. Sisterhood is crucial to the existence and development of human society, but at the same time highly underestimated. Building positive professional image is associated with this object to be liked and accepted by society. Image can not be contrived, but it can be changed. It is the way we want to accept and act upon, it is public opinion and the first characteristic of a person or institution. Each sister has the power to shape the image of sisterhood, but they must work together to change the negative image of the profession. Implement changes in the education and training of nurses are the basis of the positive public image. It should be emphasized the new vision of the nurse – highly skilled, professionally responsible and autonomous, providing quality care.
