Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the self-esteem of Nursing faculty in public and private universities and compare the measures presented by two groups of teachers. This descriptive, correlational, cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted with 71 teachers from two universities (public and private) from a municipality in the south of the State of Minas Gerais. After pilot testing and validation, A questionnaire and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale were used. It was found that most teachers had high self-esteem, with no significant difference between the two groups. When the continuous scores on this scale were analyzed, there was a significant difference between universities, showing that the private university teachers had lower self-esteem scores. The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale showed high value for coefficient alpha. It was concluded that self-esteem was high predominantly in the studied teachers, but those from the private university had lower scores. These data may help institutions to reflect on the issue and invest in building healthy environments, with the worker/teacher of Nursing as the protagonist, which represents advancement in the knowledge of the subject in the field of Nursing.

Summary
The work market in the field of health has undergone important transformations, determined by economic, technological and social policies. These transformations demand changes in the teaching/training institutions, so that alumni from the universities meet the new demands generated(1). Among the multiple work environments in the educational area and the various types of university activities, those developed by persons who work in Nursing are included. In Brazil, there are two types of universities: public and private. One starts with the supposition that the identity of teachers at private Higher Learning institutions (HLS) have suffered strong repercussions from the transformations in the world of work and in the changes relative to the process of expansion of these institution in Brazil since the 1990s.(2).
