The time factor continues to be a crucial element, highlighting the fundamental importance of the nurse's role in the timely initiation of treatment, reducing the time interval between the patient's arrival at the hospital and the initiation of the necessary medical therapy. The purpose of this research is to determine the direct intervention of nursing staff in patients who present an ischemic stroke in its acute phase. Within the framework of a qualitative, descriptive study, bibliographic reviews of reports, scientific journals, publications and articles were carried out. These resources were located in databases such as Google Scholar, Scielo, Redalyc, Dialnet plus and Lilacs. It has been determined that the effectiveness of in-hospital tasks carried out by nursing staff in cases of ischemic stroke is directly related to their level of knowledge and ability to provide care, especially with regard to the administration of fibrinolytic treatment. considered fundamental.
