British versus German school system and nurse education

Hi Karsten,

I'm Judith. I'm not from UK but I am interested in learning nursing issues from your country.

I live in Illinois, USA. I am in graduate school this semester. I work at Abbott Laboratories as a Quality Systems Coordinator.

If you're interested with American Nursing education system, I can help you.

How about it?

Hi Denise,

thanks a lot for your answer! I´m glad to hear from you!

To my vita:

* born in 1963 (one day after Kennedy´s killing) in Lingen/Ems (north-west Germany)

* Abitur (ability to study at university, like college in the States?) in 1983 (after 13 years at school)

* Zivildienst (every masn has to go to the army or he refuses. Then he has to do other works, like me at a hospital for 16 months.

* training and educated in nursing at a hospital for psychiatric people/patients/clients in Neuss for 3 years (full-time, 1650 h theory and 3000 h practical at psychiatry, internistic, surgeon, neurology and opediatric care at hospital)

* working as a (male) nurse at stationery in hospitals in internistic for 6 years and traumatic surgery for 2 years in Düsseldorf and Neuss

* educated/studying for 2 years (full-time) in educating and training nurses as a teacher In Duisburg

* wiorking for 4 years as a teacher at a school for nurses affliated to a psychiateric university hospital in Düsseldorf

* working as a head of a general and pediatric school of nursing for 2 years in Wilhelmshaven (at the North Sea)

* working as head of a general an d pediatric scholl for nurses since 2 1/2 years hear at Moers

* meanwhile I´m studying (distance learning university) education, pedagogic and politics for B. A., and there after M. A.

There´s a lot of aspects different to your training, studying and educating, aren´t it?

Please tell me your way!

How does American (may British too) become nurses? Which general ecudation has to be done? What´s the difference between College and Highschool?

Lots of questions, maybe you know the answer!

Do you have questions to my vita?

Liebe Grüße
