Overview: safety performance in Germany✓ Germany performs remarkably well in the UL Safety Index with the score

of 86 on a scale of 0-100, 100 being the best. The great performance is

life expectancy and all the associated consequences in terms of

health.

Krankenpfleger(health- and sickness carer).

✓ Previously, the official name for a nurse practicing in

Working in Germany✓ Germany is the future. One of the safest countries in the

world, with free education, quality cities, multicultural

population and in the heart of Europe, Germany has more to

offer than any other country in the world. While countries

like Australia and England are making it harder for nurses

and doctors to stay in their country, Germany is more

welcoming than ever.

Contd...✓ Health sector in Germany is one of the sectors which severely

suffer from the shortage of skilled employees. Hospitals, nursing

homes and other care providers are finding it harder and harder to

recruit and retain skilled nursing staff. Recruiting skilled healthcare

and nursing staff is therefore a key challenge for

Germany. Germany is also numbered as one among the highly

paying country for nurses. This makes the perfect opportunity for

experienced nurses with foreign recognised nursing degree and

license to pursue their career in Germany.

Contd...✓ In order to face up to this challenge, we bring you the opportunity

to enhance your necessary language skills to get placed with the

reputed medical organizations in Germany with trustworthy

Language is key✓ A bigger challenge is

language. After all as a nurse you have to take care of people – who often speak only German.

✓ Certified Nurses are also required to document their daily work in health reports for each patient. This requires good language skills.
