Hi Nuru, thanx very much for your help,that helps a lot ! What do you mean board of nurses probably college of nurses?because I tried them and found them not very helpful. In fact i think nursing in Germany is different i worked in ICU and Anaesthesia since I gratuated in 1990 then later i did 2 year training for special intensive care.So I guess you are right I for sure forgot some of my knowledge about child care materity or stuff like that.. I´m from Heidelberg by the way do you know that?? Very nice old city in the southern part of Germany. Su.xxx
