Introduction: nursing protocols for care of major neurological and neurosurgical problems constitute a need in a medical care unit for making decisions according to best scientific evidence and available resources. On their performance, the nursing staff needs these protocols to provide ongoing care from primary health care to patient recovery. Objective: to design a nursing protocol for patients with cerebrovascular disease and, with its implementation, to satisfy the unification of criteria for excellence in providing these services. Material and method: a literature review was made from theoretical methods: dialectical-materialist, systemic-structural and logical-historical, which permitted to establish regularities and contradictions between the object of study and the research problem. Nurses were interviewed and the proposed action protocol designed was subjected to evaluation by experts. Results: proved the nonexistence of specific nursing protocols for the care of patients with cerebrovascular disease from primary to secondary health care to care, and the need for these to provide nursing care widening the possibility of better life quality. Conclusion: a nursing protocol was designed permitting care for patients with cerebrovascular disease.
