The purpose of this study is to report the experience of students from the 4th period of the Nursing course during a home visit. Thus, the importance this experience assumes in the training of nurses and in the health/disease process is highlighted, showing itself as a possibility of practical experience of how this reality occurs, contributing to the academic/human formation. It is noticed the work with the family provides an overview of the needs, vulnerabilities and other conditions and / or determinants that may hinder the prevention, monitoring or treatment of diseases and social or psychological problems. In addition, it was also noticed an impasse in the search for Primary Care services and vice versa, showing a break in the integrality of care. Therefore, it is necessary to restructure the services to meet the demand, as well as the need to respect the specificities of each subject in their context.
