Nursing in Germany – The official language of Germany is German and common people do not understand or use any other language including English. Since German is generally not taught as a second language in schools in most third-world countries like India, German language-speaking foreign nurses are not adequately available to meet the ever-rising demand to handle the increase in the elderly population in Germany / Europe.
To meet this great demand, well-trained Indian nurses are now welcome to work in Germany. what they need, is a university Bachelors (B.Sc. / M.Sc. or PBBSC) or (GNM with 3 yrs experience) in Nursing, a few years of work experience (optional) and of course, a German language certificate till B1/B2 level. Another requirement is regarding the clinical work experience (expressed in work hours) the Indian Nurses should possess in order to have full registration as a nurse.
