In B.E. 2565 (2022), the Office of the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Public Health has declared the mission of tambon health promoting hospital must be transferred to the local administrative organization. Professional nurses are a large population and an important mechanism for driving health services in the community. The issue is considered a challenge for nurses. This article analyzed external factors influencing the practice of professional nurses based on the concept analysis of Political factors, Economic factors, Social factors, Technological factors, Legal factors, Environmental factors (PESTLE analysis) to be used as information for nurses’ decision-making and empowerment as professionals after transferring to a local administrative organization.
