eforms of the healthcare system in Bulgaria have led to structural changes and changes in nursing func-
tions. The main activities of nurses in primary care are directed at the care of healthy children of all ages.
The professional realization of the nurses has in the medical centers and practices of general practitioners. The
aim of this study is to establish competencies and autonomous functions of nurses from different primary care
structures. The study was conducted during a postgraduate training course for 65 nurses in 2017. According to
the results obtained, it is necessary to create conditions and organization for increasing the professional qual-
ification of nurses from primary care. Significantly greater autonomy is given by nurses who care for children
from kindergartens and schools. Significantly more limited are the functions of nurses, which work together
with general practitioners. The activities of the nurse in the practice of general practitioners are primarily relat-
ed to administrative functions and documentation.
