Future nurse here

Nurses General Nursing

Hi all,

First post!. In August I'll be starting Nursing school in Germany. I'm a US citizen and am married to a German. How it works here is that you go to school for 6 weeks, and then 6 weeks at the hospital to practice what you've learned. After 3 years, you're licensed at the state level here and recognized in Germany as a Krankenpflieger/schwester (male/female RN). Question, would I still need to take the NCLEX? (spelling?) in the states? Does anyone know how exactly that works. Ohh...and if there are any other male nurses in Germany, let me know, lol.

I'm super excited to start. My first education is in computers. Are there any fields out there that deal with technology at the medical level that I might be interested in?? If anyone else has noticed the market for IT people isnt exactly in demand,lol.

thanks for the replys in advance.

Specializes in Med-Surg, Trauma, Ortho, Neuro, Cardiac.

For me the best prep was taking anatomy and physiology first. Having a good foundation in the normal functioning of the human body is imperitive when you discuss the abornmal functionings.

Good luck!
