I am a nurse... or that´s what my credentials state.

Published

I graduated BSN in The Philippines in March 2008, passed the board exam after 6 months, get my IV therapy nursing license and volunteered in 3 different secondary hospitals in my province for a 18 months. In 2010 i got a chance to work outside The Philippines... As a nurse? No, as an Au-pair. During those time i was thinking its just temporary, you know just to save money to support myself since there is no available job for me in my country. During those time i met a guy... which is now my husband. He is a travelling engineer and because we moved a lot... almost every year to different EU country, i did not have the chance to submit my credentials for evaluation to practice nursing to country where we lived before because of the long process of getting my residence permit to studying the country´s language. After 3 years we are now in Germany and looks like we will stay here for awhile. Now i was hoping to continue my nursing career. I know its been 4 years since i step inside a hospital as a nurse but im still hoping to find ways to be and work as nurse.

I am now finding ways how can i further study nursing here in germany, which is difficult. I was hoping for german nurse or nurses working in germany to read this post, i am hoping for your advise on how i can start my career here in germany, advises on how i can get some experience or what do i need or where to go if i want to work or study advanced nursing. As of this moment i am studying german coz i know it´s very important.
