Do you speak very good German and really want to work as a nurse in Germany? Then for selected applicants we cover the course, exam and accommodation. You only pay for your travel.
Two ways to recognition - with or without ties
Decide whether you want the security of an employer or maximum freedom by investing in yourself.
Placement model tied to an employer
- Many models include a commitment of up to 2 years.
- You often start as a nursing assistant, with a lower salary.
- Preparing for the exam can take several months.
Our way: recognition with no ties
- You decide freely which employer you want to work for.
- You are hired directly as a recognised nurse - with a full salary.
