The delivery of health care services is changing dramatically. Increasing longevity, shortening of hospital stays, scientific and technological advances and population mobility contribute to the growing complexity of nursing. Nursing education must keep pace with these changes, which require new knowledge, skills and attitudes. Nursing education in Spain is developing rapidly in accordance with the European Union growth and within the trend towards globalization. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of nursing education in Spain. A brief history of modern nursing education is presented, together with its recent reforms and a view of future developments. The Nursing Diploma program, as the only academic nursing qualification, is inappropriate to respond to the present social needs. In Spain, as in other European countries, nursing education requires increasing professionalism, which could be achieved by implementing baccalaureate, master and doctoral programs within the framework of the Bologna Declaration signed in 1999 by the European Union Ministers of Education.
医疗保健服务的提供正在发生巨大变化。寿命延长、住院时间缩短、科技进步以及人口流动导致护理工作日益复杂。护理教育必须跟上这些变化，这需要新知识、技能和态度。西班牙的护理教育正按照欧盟的发展趋势并在全球化潮流中迅速发展。本文旨在概述西班牙的护理教育。文中介绍了现代护理教育的简史、近期改革以及对未来发展的展望。护理文凭课程作为唯一的学术护理资格，已无法满足当前社会需求。在西班牙，与其他欧洲国家一样，护理教育需要提高专业性，这可以通过在1999年欧盟教育部长签署的《博洛尼亚宣言》框架内实施学士、硕士和博士课程来实现。
