Hi, I have a report to do for a nursing class, I am hoping someone could tell me what the nursing schools in germany are like. I can find plenty of web pages but I cant read english. What I would like to know is

How many yrs. to for a lpn or rn, Im not sure what it would be called in germany, Are the classes a lot like the us classes? Pharmacolgy, fundys, skills etc. Any input would be greatly apprecieated, thanks so much

If anyone went to a nursing school in germany, could you tell me what it was like? anything at all. thanks so much.

Specializes in intensive care, recovery, anesthetics.

Everybody who wants to work as a nurse in Germany need to be fluent in German, exception only for people who are working for the US army or so.

So start studying German to start with.

Registration depends on in which "state" (Bundesland) are you gonna live, several goverment authorities might be involved.

Acceptance of your nursing education will depend on the hours you've done (theory and practical) according to the german nursing law and european guidelines. Your education should have been at least for 3 years.

I don't think so, it wouldn't make sense, to be honest.

In Germany nurses have had diffuculties in finding jobs for a couple of years. And you should consider that competences are much lower than in other countries.

Any questions? I am German and might be able to help.:nuke:

Lizzy,

I'm not aware of any schools in Germany that are doing this, there are schools where english is taught see Ulm or Heidelberg for instance, but not the nursing curriculum, you could try to contact the american base in Frankfurt, there's an american army hospital. But for a german nursing school you'll need to be fluent in german.

Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.

If you want to do your nurse training in Germany then you will need to be fluent in German (can't image they will accept you if you are not)

Specializes in Emergency, medical-surgical,.

You will have to be able to speak and understand German fluently to attend a nursing program! You must be able to follow classes and not start learning German during education!

It`s like in any other coountry, language proficiency is a prerequisite!
