The objective of this study is to elaborate a bibliometric review of the Spanish production in Educational Nursing. The topic of Spanish Nursing Education is explored through research documents indexed in the bases of the Web of Science from 1991 to 2021 using a descriptive and quantitative (bibliometric) design with a sample of 927 documents (articles, clinical trials and reviews). Longitudinal production shows an increasing trend. The most productive universities are from the Spanish Mediterranean arc. The journal Nurse Education Today is the most important publisher and the most cited journal. The average number of citations per document is 11 citations with a Hirsch h-index of 46. Spanish Nursing Education is confirmed as a relevant scientific research topic (hot topic) with bibliometric patterns comparable to those of any qualified topic of the Health Sciences.
