Abstract
The aim of the work that follows is to present the current legal framework that legitimizes the professional nursing in Andalusia in this new competence, the different types of prescription, drugs and health products authorized and documentation and conditions through which the prescription should be done to increase knowledge and unify criteria to make the decree operative.
To this end, we have studied deeply the entire structure and contents of the Decree, the pharmaceutical existing legal framework and other laws directly linked to nursing prescription, without losing sight of other issues of interest through manuals and websites that have provided relevant content on pharmacovigilance and "good" prescriptions.
We conclude that the prescription of pharmaceutical products by nurses is a step forward in the development of the profession by giving them greater autonomy in decision-making and problem-solving capacity within the healthcare team, while encouraging and facilitating work in the team and ensuring better health care and customer satisfaction.
