Nursing education is a crucial step for those aspiring to pursue a fulfilling career in the German healthcare system. Nursing education is a professional training program that imparts aspiring healthcare professionals with the necessary knowledge and skills to ensure high-quality healthcare. This includes patient care, medication administration, performing medical procedures, and providing psychosocial support to individuals across different age groups and health conditions. Typically, the generalist nursing education program in Germany lasts for three years.
Career opportunities and prospects
The prospects for nursing professionals in Germany are excellent. With the demographic shift, there is a continuous increase in the demand for qualified nursing professionals. Graduates of nursing education can work in various sectors, including:
Nurses play a key role in patient care and collaborate closely with doctors and other healthcare providers.
Nurses working in home care support patients in their own homes.
Here, nurses provide care to the elderly and those with long-term health issues.
They offer mobile nursing services for individuals who do not require inpatient care.
Our mission is to bridge the gap in the care sector by connecting world-class professionals from different parts of the world with German healthcare facilities. We understand that the integration of new nurses is an important step. Our team will assist you with administrative tasks and guide you through the integration process to ensure you feel comfortable in your team and community.
This is your chance to gain exciting professional experience in Germany.
You submit your application documents using the online application form on our website. Our team of experts carefully examines the applications and makes an initial pre-selection based on the qualifications, experience and personal interests of the applicants.
As soon as a care facility wants to get to know you as an applicant, an online interview takes place. In this conversation you get to know each other and clarify open questions.
We take care of checking various documents, such as references, certificates, employment contracts and other relevant documents. This allows us to ensure that all required documents are translated correctly and precisely.
We offer comprehensive support in applying for and obtaining your visa. Our experienced team accompanies you through the application process, prepares all the necessary documents and is at your side if you have any questions or anything is unclear.
The PflegeXperts Welcome Weeks are a specially designed introductory phase aimed at giving foreign trainees a smooth start in Germany. During these weeks we provide full support and guidance to ensure all trainees feel welcome from the start and are well integrated into their new work environment.
Our work does not end with mediation. We support the trainees in their integration into the nursing facility and promote open communication and cooperation with the nursing staff and other colleagues.
In Germany, nursing education is divided into two parts:
Nursing students learn theoretical concepts about nursing care at a nursing school.
Nursing students work part-time at a healthcare facility to apply the knowledge gained in the nursing school into practical settings.
