Objective: To know the main features of epilepsy to identify what the symptomatology is, as well as knowing how to differentiate between a febrile process, since it is the most frequent type of seizure in infants and, in an epileptic state, the most serious situation within seizures caused by epilepsy. Methods: This is a systematic review carried out in different databases with the data collected in the last five years until nowadays. Results: Taking into account all the reviewed articles, it is clarified which the main signs and symptoms that characterize epilepsy are, developing in a clear and brief way what the symptomatology which has to put us on alert in school nurses or collective that is part of a school in different situations is. This different situations make reference to parents, other students, teachers, etc. Conclusions: The found findings coincide with some of the same opinions expressed in the review articles. The importance of school nursing is reflected in the official and/or scientific papers but it is not developing in practice despite the benefits that are being shown in countries where this figure has been implemented for years. There are still many steps to take to reach a situation in which the end is the welfare of the population. The knowledge and the health education for the population are basic pillars of a good health system. The way is being built based on small steps over the years, although much work remains to be done and many policies to be implemented to make it possible for the population to have a better access to health and with it, to their physical, mental and social well-being. The final goal is the pursuit of healthy populations and managers of their own health states.
Nowadays, the fear and the ignorance of epilepsy is not something that has changed so much in comparison to previous years. It is true that no divine causes are attributed as in the beginning of history. However, we will see how there are diffuse ideas and confusing knowledge on the part of the population. A minimum percentage, outside the health field, is trained for it.
