title: [Nursing and Europe].
abstract: A European environment is a reality; therefore, nurses should adjust their working patterns to conform with this context. The variables which shall determine the future of nursing are: globalization, governmental sanitary policies, demographic changes, and new treatment necessities. Indispensable elements to confront the future as one should include having a clear idea what one's own treatment role is and knowing what are the treatment necessities which our continually more complex population demands.
