The postnatal period, puerperium or midwifery is the period that begins two hours after birth. It lasts up to 6 weeks or 40 days after birth, until the midwife's body returns to the state it was in before pregnancy. Community care for the mother and newborn is extremely important, especially in the beginning, so it is important that the first visit of the community nurse is organized in the first 24 to 48 hours after returning from the maternity hospital. The visiting nurse is in charge of monitoring the condition of the mother and the newborn, helps the mother to adapt to the new situation, educates her on how to properly handle the newborn, but also recognizes situations when medical / professional help would be needed. Every community nurse needs to be, warm, cheerful and communicative in order to gain her mother’s trust. Likewise, the first impression that the visiting nurse leaves on her first visit is extremely important because it affects the creation of security and trust in the mother. With her empathy, she helps families get used to the changes that await them and helps with daily activities with the newborn. During the preparation of the final paper, a survey was conducted in order to obtain the results of the quality of care provided. A total of 105 participants participated in the study. The results showed that in 100 (95.2%) participants the community nurse came for a home visit, 93 (88.6%) thought that she guided them well on the proper treatment of the newborn. 83 (79%) participants were satisfied with the assistance, advice and engagement provided, while 6 (5.7%) were not and 16 (15.2%) were partially satisfied.
